The `email` field in phpMyFAQ's user control panel page is vulnerable to stored XSS attacks due to the inadequacy of PHP's `FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL` function, which only validates the email format, not its content. This vulnerability enables an attacker to execute arbitrary client-side JavaScript within the context of another user's phpMyFAQ session. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.2.6.","published":"2024-03-25T18:30:35.810Z","modified":"2026-08-08T03:45:27.722360022Z","cvss":{"score":5.5,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L"},"epss":null,"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":1,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"Packagist","name":"phpmyfaq/phpmyfaq","fixedVersion":"3.2.6"}],"fix":{"url":"https://github.com/thorsten/phpMyFAQ/commit/09336b0ff0e0a04aa0c97c5975651af4769d2459","label":"thorsten/phpMyFAQ@09336b0"},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2024/27xxx/CVE-2024-27300.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/thorsten/phpMyFAQ/security/advisories/GHSA-q7g6-xfh2-vhpx"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-27300"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/thorsten/phpMyFAQ/commit/09336b0ff0e0a04aa0c97c5975651af4769d2459"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/thorsten/phpMyFAQ/commit/de90315c9bd4ead5fe6ba5586f6b016843aa8209"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-08-08T03:45:27.722360022Z"}}
