An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-57961 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- phpmyfaq/phpmyfaq (Packagist): affected from 4.0.0-alpha; fixed in 4.1.5\n- phpmyfaq/phpmyfaq (Packagist): affected from 4.0.0-alpha; fixed in 4.1.5\n- thorsten/phpmyfaq (Packagist): affected from 4.0.0-alpha; fixed in 4.1.5\n- thorsten/phpmyfaq (Packagist): affected from 4.0.0-alpha; fixed in 4.1.5\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-2026-57961/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-57961/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-57961","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-57961/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-57961","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-88g4-74f3-63x9","GHSA-j3vx-7xgh-q759"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"FAQ web application","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Authenticated users with FAQ editing privileges can read arbitrary files outside the intended directory via crafted image paths in PDF exports.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"VulnCheck","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":5.1,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"phpMyFAQ before 4.1.5 contains a potential authenticated path traversal vulnerability in the concatenatePaths() function within src/phpMyFAQ/Export/Pdf/Wrapper.php. A user with FAQ editing privileges can store HTML containing crafted image paths that are processed during PDF generation. The path resolution logic locates the substring \"content\" within a user-controlled path using strpos(); when \"content\" is absent, strpos() returns false, which becomes 0 when cast to an integer, preserving the entire attacker-controlled path. This path is later passed to file_get_contents() without canonicalization or root-directory containment validation, which may allow reading of files outside the intended content directory.","ecosystems":["Packagist"],"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":"phpMyFAQ - Authenticated Path Traversal in PDF Export via concatenatePaths Function","id":"CVE-2026-57961","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Packagist","product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2026"},"n_packages":4,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Denial-of-service via malicious LDAP address-book server","id":"CVE-2026-57962"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Packagist","fixed":["4.1.5"],"introduced":["4.0.0-alpha"],"last_affected":[],"package":"phpmyfaq/phpmyfaq","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-88g4-74f3-63x9"},{"ecosystem":"Packagist","fixed":["4.1.5"],"introduced":["4.0.0-alpha"],"last_affected":[],"package":"phpmyfaq/phpmyfaq","purl":"pkg:composer/phpmyfaq/phpmyfaq","source":"GHSA-88g4-74f3-63x9"},{"ecosystem":"Packagist","fixed":["4.1.5"],"introduced":["4.0.0-alpha"],"last_affected":[],"package":"thorsten/phpmyfaq","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-88g4-74f3-63x9"},{"ecosystem":"Packagist","fixed":["4.1.5"],"introduced":["4.0.0-alpha"],"last_affected":[],"package":"thorsten/phpmyfaq","purl":"pkg:composer/thorsten/phpmyfaq","source":"GHSA-88g4-74f3-63x9"}],"prev":{"headline":"Hi.Events 1.9.0 - Unauthenticated Attendee PII Exposure via Check-in List short_id","id":"CVE-2026-57960"},"products":["phpMyFAQ"],"published":"2026-07-10","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-07-10","vendors":["phpMyFAQ"]},"summary":"Authenticated users with FAQ editing privileges can read arbitrary files outside the intended directory via crafted image paths in PDF exports.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-57961/"}
