description
phpMyFAQ 4.0.0 through 4.1.8 mishandles authentication during WebAuthn credential enrollment. A remote unauthenticated attacker may associate a credential with a targeted account and subsequently access that account, provided the attacker can target its username and the vulnerable registration functionality is exposed.
mitigation
Upgrade phpMyFAQ to version 4.1.9 or later. Until upgrades are complete, restrict access to WebAuthn registration endpoints and monitor for unexpected credential enrollments.
fixed in 4.1.9
outcome
Check only, differential: the check fires on the vulnerable build and is silent on the patched one.
