phpMyFAQ Information Disclosure (CVE-2026-46366) Exposes Restricted Content
The National Vulnerability Database has disclosed CVE-2026-46366, an information disclosure vulnerability in phpMyFAQ versions prior to 4.1.2. This flaw resides in the getIdFromSolutionId() method, which lacks proper permission filtering. Unauthenticated attackers can exploit this by sequentially iterating solution_id values via the /solution_id_{id}.html endpoint.
This attack allows adversaries to enumerate and read the titles of restricted FAQ entries, including those intended only for specific users or groups. The vulnerability leaks sensitive metadata through HTTP redirect Location headers and page canonical links, effectively bypassing access controls. The National Vulnerability Database assigns this a CVSS score of 7.5 (HIGH), indicating a significant risk.
Attackers gain a clear advantage by understanding an organization’s internal knowledge base, even if the full content isn’t directly exposed. This metadata can inform social engineering campaigns, identify critical systems, or reveal internal processes, providing valuable reconnaissance for more sophisticated attacks. Defenders must prioritize patching to prevent this easy win for adversaries.
What This Means For You
- If your organization uses phpMyFAQ, immediately check your version. Any installation before 4.1.2 is vulnerable. Patch to version 4.1.2 or later without delay to prevent unauthenticated information disclosure of your internal FAQ content. Audit your public-facing phpMyFAQ instances for any unusual access patterns or sequential requests to the `/solution_id_{id}.html` endpoint.
