An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2017-15809 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Phpmyfaq Phpmyfaq. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-15809/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-15809/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-15809","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-15809/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-15809","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-4wcf-rvqr-8vvv"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"phpMyFaq","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Cross-site scripting vulnerability in phpMyFaq allows attackers to inject malicious scripts via crafted tags, potentially leading to session hijacking or code execution.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"phpmyfaq","vendor":"phpmyfaq"}],"cvss":{"score":6.1,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"In phpMyFaq before 2.9.9, there is XSS in admin/tags.main.php via a crafted tag.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-15809","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"phpmyfaq:phpmyfaq","products":["phpmyfaq:phpmyfaq"],"type":"xss","year":"2017"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-15810"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-15808"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-10-23","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Cross-site Scripting (XSS) - Stored in thorsten/phpmyfaq","id":"CVE-2023-0310","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-01-15"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Cross-site Scripting (XSS) - Reflected in thorsten/phpmyfaq","id":"CVE-2022-4407","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-12-11"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-11187","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-07-12"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"phpMyFAQ before 4.1.7 2FA Brute-Force via Session-Scoped Throttle","id":"CVE-2026-76213","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-19"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"phpMyFAQ before 4.1.7 WebAuthn Replay Attack via Challenge","id":"CVE-2026-76214","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-19"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Cross-site Scripting (XSS) - DOM in thorsten/phpmyfaq","id":"CVE-2023-5316","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-09-30"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Cross-site Scripting (XSS) - Stored in thorsten/phpmyfaq","id":"CVE-2023-0306","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-01-15"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-09-17","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Cross-site scripting vulnerability in phpMyFaq allows attackers to inject malicious scripts via crafted tags, potentially leading to session hijacking or code execution.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-15809/"}
