CVE-2026-46367 Details
Description
phpMyFAQ before 4.1.2 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in Utils::parseUrl() that allows authenticated users to inject JavaScript via malformed URLs in comments. Attackers can craft URLs with unescaped quotes to inject event handlers, stealing admin session cookies and achieving full application takeover when visitors view affected FAQ pages.
A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in phpMyFAQ versions prior to 4.1.2. The issue resides in the Utils::parseUrl() function, which processes URLs in comments by converting them into clickable links. This vulnerability allows authenticated users to inject JavaScript into comments by using malformed URLs with unescaped quotes. When other users, including administrators, view the affected FAQ pages, the injected script executes. This exploitation can lead to the theft of admin session cookies, allowing for a complete takeover of the admin account.
Users can update to phpMyFAQ version 4.1.2 or later to address this vulnerability.
