{"id":"CVE-2026-49205","aliases":["GHSA-8c6h-7g6x-m5x4"],"url":"https://o3.security/vulnerability/CVE-2026-49205","summary":"phpMyFAQ: Missing userHasPermission() in 4 API write endpoints (CVE-2026-24421 Incomplete Fix)","details":"phpMyFAQ is an open source FAQ web application. Versions prior to  4.1.4 have Missing Authorization in the API CategoryController. CVE-2026-24421 addressed this in the BackupController by adding: $this->userHasPermission(PermissionType::BACKUP). The same fix was not applied to 4 other write endpoints in the public API. All 4 only call $this->hasValidToken() — which checks a shared API key header, rather than the individual user's role permissions. The following APIs are affected: POST /api/v4.0/category (CategoryController::create), POST /api/v4.0/faq (FaqController::create), PUT /api/v4.0/faq (FaqController::update), and POST /api/v4.0/question (QuestionController::create). This issue has been fixed in version 4.1.4.","published":"2026-06-18T21:12:34.764Z","modified":"2026-08-12T03:51:43.731343012Z","cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N"},"epss":{"score":0.00385,"percentile":0.31667,"asOf":"2026-09-07"},"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":0,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"Packagist","name":"thorsten/phpmyfaq","fixedVersion":"4.1.4"},{"ecosystem":"Packagist","name":"phpmyfaq/phpmyfaq","fixedVersion":"4.1.4"}],"fix":{"url":"https://github.com/thorsten/phpMyFAQ/commit/d5c195b1ecf5dc30fb825d7eb50d22481c24cb07","label":"thorsten/phpMyFAQ@d5c195b"},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/49xxx/CVE-2026-49205.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/thorsten/phpMyFAQ/security/advisories/GHSA-8c6h-7g6x-m5x4"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-49205"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/thorsten/phpMyFAQ/commit/d5c195b1ecf5dc30fb825d7eb50d22481c24cb07"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-08-12T03:51:43.731343012Z"}}
