Summary

Duplicate Advisory: phpMyFAQ: Stored XSS via Utils::parseUrl() in comment rendering

Details

Duplicate Advisory

This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-9525-27vj-c8r8. This link is maintained to preserve external references.

Original 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.
