Machine-written summary

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

Packages phpmyfaq/phpmyfaq and thorsten/phpmyfaq are affected in versions below 4.1.6, and the fix is in 4.1.6. The StopWords::add() method inserts the submitted stop word into an SQL statement without escaping it, which allows SQL injection. An attacker needs valid administrator credentials, or an authenticated administrator session, to reach the stop-word form, and could then read, modify, or delete database data. Upgrade to version 4.1.6 or later.
