CVE-2026-48488 Details
Description
phpMyFAQ is an open source FAQ web application. Prior to version 4.1.4, attachment passwords are hashed using SHA-1, a cryptographically broken algorithm. SHA-1 has been vulnerable to collision attacks since 2017 (SHAttered). Version 4.1.4 fixes the issue.
A vulnerability exists in phpMyFAQ versions through 4.1.3, where attachment passwords are hashed using SHA-1, a cryptographically broken algorithm susceptible to collision attacks. This weak hashing provides no real protection, as the hashed passwords are not verified upon retrieval. The vulnerability has been addressed in version 4.1.4.
Users are advised to update to phpMyFAQ version 4.1.4, where this vulnerability has been fixed. For those who have customized the password handling, it is recommended to switch to a stronger hashing algorithm, such as bcrypt.
