CVE-2026-24421 - phpMyFAQ missing authorization exposes /api/setup/backup to any authenticated user

CVE ID : CVE-2026-24421 Published : Jan. 24, 2026, 2:15 a.m. | 32 minutes ago Description : phpMyFAQ is an open source FAQ web application. Versions 4.0.14 and below have flawed authorization logic which exposes the /api/setup/backup endpoint to any authenticated user despite their permissions. SetupController.php uses userIsAuthenticated() but does not verify that the requester has configuration/admin permissions. Non-admin users can trigger a configuration backup and retrieve its path. The endpoint only checks authentication, not authorization, and returns a link to the generated ZIP. This issue is fixed in version 4.0.17.
