An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2026-111890 exists.\n\nAffected product: thorsten 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-2026-111890/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-111890/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-111890","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-111890/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-111890","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-3666-fmjj-qm5h","GHSA-x3mg-fj9x-7cq2"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"FAQ web application","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Administrators with USER_EDIT rights can escalate privileges to gain unrestricted FAQ access across all languages via the update-rights API.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"VulnCheck","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:L/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-269","name":"Improper Privilege Management"}],"description":"phpMyFAQ from 4.2.0-alpha.2 before 4.2.0-beta contains a privilege escalation vulnerability in UserController::updateUserRights that drops per-right language restrictions when rights are re-granted.
