CVE-2026-111904 Details
Description
phpMyFAQ 4.2.0-alpha before 4.2.0-beta contains an information disclosure vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to read hidden open questions due to an inverted api.onlyPublicQuestions check in OpenQuestionController. Attackers can send GET requests to the /api/v4.0/open-questions endpoint to retrieve non-public moderation or internal questions and their associated usernames.
An information disclosure vulnerability exists in phpMyFAQ versions 4.2.0-alpha prior to 4.2.0-beta. This vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to access hidden open questions, including non-public moderation or internal inquiries and the associated usernames. The issue arises from an inverted 'api.onlyPublicQuestions' check in the 'OpenQuestionController', which incorrectly exposes hidden questions through the '/api/v4.0/open-questions' endpoint. The default configuration of 'api.onlyPublicQuestions' is true, leading the API to return all questions, including those marked as not visible.
Users can upgrade to phpMyFAQ version 4.2.0-beta to address this vulnerability.
