waiting for further signalsZero needs more public information before it can validate it.GHSA-ch92-qpmj-fc56 ↗EUVD-2026-103335 ↗
description
phpMyFAQ releases before 4.1.9, and 4.2.0-alpha releases before 4.2.0-beta, do not require the current password when an account email address is changed. An attacker with a hijacked user session may change the email address and use password recovery to take over accounts that do not use two-factor authentication, potentially including administrative accounts.
mitigation
Upgrade stable deployments to phpMyFAQ 4.1.9 or later, and upgrade 4.2.0-alpha deployments to 4.2.0-beta or later. Prioritize protection of active sessions and enable two-factor authentication for privileged accounts.
fixed in 4.1.9, 4.2.0-beta
outcome
Contextual: an exploit technique exists, but no deterministic check could cover this one.
