description
phpMyFAQ versions before 4.1.9 improperly authorize deletion of superadmin accounts through its user-deletion API. An authenticated non-superadmin user with permission to delete users can remove a superadmin account, disrupting administrative access and accountability.
mitigation
Upgrade phpMyFAQ to version 4.1.9 or later. Until upgraded, restrict the delete-user permission to trusted superadministrators and review accounts holding that permission.
fixed in 4.1.9
outcome
Contextual: an exploit technique exists, but no deterministic check could cover this one.
