Machine-written summary

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

The Packagist package thorsten/phpmyfaq versions below 4.0.16, and 4.1.0-alpha through 4.1.0-beta.2, have a flaw in the /api/setup/backup endpoint that requires no authentication. A remote attacker can trigger creation of a configuration backup ZIP and download it, which can expose secrets such as database credentials. Upgrade to version 4.0.16 or later.
