phpMyFAQ is an open source FAQ web application for PHP 8.1+ and MySQL, PostgreSQL and other databases. A SQL injection vulnerability has been discovered in the `insertentry` & `saveentry` when modifying records due to improper escaping of the email address. This allows any authenticated user with the rights to add/edit FAQ news to exploit this vulnerability to exfiltrate data, take over accounts and in some cases, even achieve RCE. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.2.6.

phpMyFAQ is an open source FAQ web application for PHP 8.1+ and MySQL, PostgreSQL and other databases. A SQL injection vulnerability has been discovered in the the "Add News" functionality due to improper escaping of the email address. This allows any authenticated user with the rights to add/edit FAQ news to exploit this vulnerability to exfiltrate data, take over accounts and in some cases, even achieve RCE. The vulnerable field lies in the `authorEmail` field which uses PHP's `FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL` filter. This filter is insufficient in protecting against SQL injection attacks and should still be properly escaped. However, in this version of phpMyFAQ (3.2.5), this field is not escaped properly can be used together with other fields to fully exploit the SQL injection vulnerability. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.2.6.

SQL injection vulnerability in phpMyFAQ before 2.8.13 allows remote authenticated users with certain permissions to execute arbitrary SQL commands via vectors involving the restore function.

SQL injection vulnerability in phpMyFAQ 1.6.7 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via unspecified vectors, possibly the userfile or filename parameter.

SQL injection vulnerability in password.php in PhpMyFaq 1.5.1 allows remote attackers to modify SQL queries and gain administrator privileges via the user field.

SQL injection vulnerability in phpMyFAQ 1.4 and 1.5 allows remote attackers to add FAQ records to the database via the username field in forum messages.
