Title
phpMyFAQ - Privilege Escalation via Missing SuperAdmin Guard in user/add Endpoint
Summary
phpMyFAQ before 4.1.5 contains a privilege escalation vulnerability in the user/add API endpoint that allows non-SuperAdmin administrators to create SuperAdmin accounts. A delegated administrator with USER_ADD/EDIT/DELETE permissions can call POST /admin/api/user/add with isSuperAdmin: true and attacker-chosen credentials to create a SuperAdmin account, then authenticate as that account to achieve full instance takeover.

Title
phpMyFAQ - Information Disclosure of Inactive FAQ Content via Public API Endpoints
Summary
phpMyFAQ before 4.1.5 applies inconsistent active=yes and publication-date filtering across its public FAQ API endpoints, allowing unauthenticated attackers to retrieve inactive (draft or review-only) FAQ content. Specifically, GET /api/v3.1/faq/{categoryId}/{faqId} returns the inactive FAQ title and full answer, while GET /api/v3.1/faqs/tags/{tagId} and GET /api/v4.0/faqs/tags/{tagId} return the inactive FAQ title and answer preview, disclosing non-public content.

Title
phpMyFAQ - Authenticated Path Traversal in PDF Export via concatenatePaths Function
Summary
phpMyFAQ before 4.1.5 contains a potential authenticated path traversal vulnerability in the concatenatePaths() function within src/phpMyFAQ/Export/Pdf/Wrapper.php. A user with FAQ editing privileges can store HTML containing crafted image paths that are processed during PDF generation. The path resolution logic locates the substring "content" within a user-controlled path using strpos(); when "content" is absent, strpos() returns false, which becomes 0 when cast to an integer, preserving the entire attacker-controlled path. This path is later passed to file_get_contents() without canonicalization or root-directory containment validation, which may allow reading of files outside the intended content directory.

Title
phpMyFAQ - Privilege Escalation via Missing Self-Rights Constraint in GroupController::updatePermissions
Summary
phpMyFAQ before 4.1.5 contains a privilege escalation vulnerability in GroupController::updatePermissions that allows GROUP_EDIT administrators to grant arbitrary rights to groups without verifying they hold those rights themselves. A delegated administrator can exploit this by assigning high-value permissions to a group they belong to, inheriting those rights and escalating privileges up to full administrative control.
