CVE-2026-111888 · phpMyFAQ 4.0.0 before 4.1.9 Incorrect Authorization via news update API
This page contains facts from public vulnerability sources. Check the original advisory before updating.
phpMyFAQ from 4.0.0 before 4.1.9 contains an incorrect authorization vulnerability that allows delegated admins lacking the editnews right to modify news by calling PUT /admin/api/news/update, which checks NEWS_DELETE instead of NEWS_EDIT. Attackers holding addnews and delnews can read the update-news CSRF token from their own cookie and rewrite any news item's header, body, author, link and active flag shown on the public front page.
