Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
This advisory covers a stored cross-site scripting flaw in phpMyFAQ, affecting the Packagist packages thorsten/phpmyfaq and phpmyfaq/phpmyfaq versions 4.1.1 up to but not including 4.1.2. An attacker with any registered account can submit a comment containing a crafted URL that, when rendered with the comment editor enabled, runs attacker-supplied JavaScript in the browsers of visitors, including administrators. The advisory says this could be used to steal admin session cookies. The fix is to upgrade to version 4.1.2.
