CVE-2023-1880

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions thorsten/phpmyfaq versions prior to 3.1.12

Description The issue is related to Cross-site Scripting (XSS), specifically reflected and stored XSS. It occurs because the software fails to properly sanitize user input in the artlang parameter. This allows malicious scripts to be executed, potentially leading to unauthorized actions. The estimated number of potentially affected devices worldwide is not specified. There is no information provided about real-world incidents where this issue was exploited.

Recommendations For versions prior to 3.1.12, update to version 3.1.12 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the artlang parameter to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the artlang parameter in affected endpoints until the issue is resolved.
