Stored HTML injection via unencoded contentLink

Published Mar 25, 2024 · Updated Aug 2, 2024

Stored HTML injection in phpMyFAQ 3.2.5 allows remote attackers to alter FAQ pages through a crafted contentLink value. The guest FAQ path in phpmyfaq/api.service.php stores contentLink without HTML entity encoding, so supplied markup is rendered when the FAQ is viewed. Exploitation requires guest FAQ creation, administrator approval without detection, and another user's page view; demonstrated effects include content manipulation and redirection.
