Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

phpMyFAQ, the FAQ software distributed through the Packagist packages thorsten/phpmyfaq and phpmyfaq/phpmyfaq, is affected in versions before 4.1.4. The source says attachment passwords are hashed with SHA-1, which it describes as cryptographically broken, and it claims an attacker could craft collisions to bypass attachment protection or crack passwords after a database compromise. The source gives an estimated cracking time but no clear confirmation of how exploitable this is in practice. Upgrade to version 4.1.4, which is listed as the fixed version.
