Attackers holding addnews and delnews can read the update-news CSRF token from their own cookie and rewrite any news item's header, body, author, link and active flag shown on the public front page.","aliases":["GHSA-287v-6c6j-x9f7"],"modified":"2026-10-21T02:55:49.652163312Z","published":"2026-10-17T18:46:13.202Z","database_specific":{"osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/111xxx/CVE-2026-111888.json","cna_assigner":"VulnCheck","cwe_ids":["CWE-863"]},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/111xxx/CVE-2026-111888.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/thorsten/phpMyFAQ/security/advisories/GHSA-287v-6c6j-x9f7"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-111888"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/phpmyfaq-4.0.0-before-4.1.9-incorrect-authorization-via-news-update-api"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://github.com/thorsten/phpmyfaq","events":[{"introduced":"9bf3d792e67da3c04217002a9642fdf74ced9554"},{"fixed":"ecd0de3cff20d4a06e8ad17eef7c22ef227f0af9"}],"database_specific":{"extracted_events":[{"strategy":"StandardRange","range":[{"introduced":"4.0.0"},{"fixed":"4.1.9"}],"source":"AFFECTED_FIELD"}]}}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2026-111888.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V4","score":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N"}]}
