{"id":"CVE-2024-27300","summary":"phpMyFAQ Stored XSS at user email","details":"phpMyFAQ is an open source FAQ web application for PHP 8.1+ and MySQL, PostgreSQL and other databases. 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.","aliases":["GHSA-q7g6-xfh2-vhpx"],"modified":"2026-08-12T03:51:28.011727408Z","published":"2024-03-25T18:30:35.810Z","database_specific":{"osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2024/27xxx/CVE-2024-27300.json","cna_assigner":"GitHub_M","cwe_ids":["CWE-79"]},"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"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://github.com/thorsten/phpmyfaq","events":[{"introduced":"ee05654763ef0f16137d3bd21ec50e2f21ffb8f8"},{"fixed":"09336b0ff0e0a04aa0c97c5975651af4769d2459"},{"fixed":"de90315c9bd4ead5fe6ba5586f6b016843aa8209"}],"database_specific":{"source":["CPE_STRING","REFERENCES"],"cpe":"cpe:2.3:a:phpmyfaq:phpmyfaq:3.2.5:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","extracted_events":[{"introduced":"3.2.5"},{"last_affected":"3.2.5"}]}}],"versions":["3.2.5"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2024-27300.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L"}]}
