Machine-written summary

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

phpMyFAQ versions before 4.1.3, distributed as the Packagist packages phpmyfaq/phpmyfaq and thorsten/phpmyfaq, contain an insecure direct object reference in the admin API's user password function. An authenticated administrator with user-editing permission can change the password of any account, including the SuperAdmin account, and so gain full control of the instance. Upgrade to version 4.1.3 or later.
