Descriptions

phpMyFAQ is an open source FAQ web application for PHP 8.1+ and MySQL, PostgreSQL and other databases. phpMyFAQ's user removal page allows an attacker to spoof another user's detail, and in turn make a compelling phishing case for removing another user's account. The front-end of this page doesn't allow changing the form details, an attacker can utilize a proxy to intercept this request and submit other data. Upon submitting this form, an email is sent to the administrator informing them that this user wants to delete their account. An administrator has no way of telling the difference between the actual user wishing to delete their account or the attacker issuing this for an account they do not control. This issue has been patched in version 3.2.5.

phpMyFAQ es una aplicación web de preguntas frecuentes de código abierto para PHP 8.1+ y MySQL, PostgreSQL y otras bases de datos. La página de eliminación de usuarios de phpMyFAQ permite a un atacante falsificar los detalles de otro usuario y, a su vez, presentar un caso de phishing convincente para eliminar la cuenta de otro usuario. La interfaz de esta página no permite cambiar los detalles del formulario; un atacante puede utilizar un proxy para interceptar esta solicitud y enviar otros datos. Al enviar este formulario, se envía un correo electrónico al administrador informándole que este usuario desea eliminar su cuenta. Un administrador no tiene forma de distinguir entre el usuario real que desea eliminar su cuenta o el atacante que lo hace para una cuenta que no controla. Este problema se solucionó en la versión 3.2.5.
