phpMyFAQ Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability
The phpMyFAQ application fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input, allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of a user visiting the affected site. This can lead to the theft of authentication credentials and enable the attacker to launch further attacks.
Mitigation:
Upgrade to phpMyFAQ version 2.6.9 or later. Additionally, input validation and output encoding should be implemented to sanitize user-supplied data and prevent XSS attacks.
