An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2018-16651 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-2018-16651/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-16651/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-16651","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-16651/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-16651","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-hf85-qccf-2w3h"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"FAQ web application","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"An attacker can inject malicious formulas into CSV reports in phpMyFAQ, potentially leading to code execution when the report is opened in spreadsheet software.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"other"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"phpmyfaq","vendor":"phpmyfaq"}],"cvss":{"score":7.2,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-1236","name":"Improper Neutralization of Formula Elements in a CSV File"}],"description":"The admin backend in phpMyFAQ before 2.9.11 allows CSV injection in reports.","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":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-16651","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"phpmyfaq:phpmyfaq","products":["phpmyfaq:phpmyfaq"],"type":"other","year":"2018"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-16653"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"phpMyFAQ CSRF","id":"CVE-2018-16650"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2018-09-07","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":"2024-08-05","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"An attacker can inject malicious formulas into CSV reports in phpMyFAQ, potentially leading to code execution when the report is opened in spreadsheet software.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-16651/"}
