Machine-written summary

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

The thorsten/phpmyfaq Packagist package is affected in versions below 3.2.10, through a flaw in the FAQ Record component where embedded frames can trigger file downloads. An attacker with privileged (admin-level) access can insert an iframe into a FAQ record pointing to an uploaded attachment, so that visitors who load the FAQ page have a file downloaded to their machine without explicit consent, with some browsers showing a confirmation first. The fix is to upgrade to version 3.2.10.
