description
phpMyFAQ releases from 4.2.0-alpha through versions before 4.2.0-beta are affected in the public FAQ and search API endpoints. An unauthenticated remote attacker can make concurrent requests that consume excessive CPU and memory, potentially interrupting service.
mitigation
Upgrade phpMyFAQ to 4.2.0-beta or later. Until upgrade, rate-limit and restrict public access to the FAQ and search API endpoints at the proxy or network boundary.
fixed in 4.2.0-beta
outcome
Contextual: an exploit technique exists, but no deterministic check could cover this one.
