Summary

phpMyFAQ before version 4.2.0-alpha is vulnerable to SQL LIKE wildcard injection in the chat user search. An authenticated user can bypass the display-name search filter and enumerate active users, as % and _ are not escaped.

Risk Assessment

Logged-in users can obtain a list of active accounts, which may facilitate further attacks such as phishing or brute force attempts.

Recommendation

Upgrade phpMyFAQ to version 4.2.0-alpha or later, which includes a fix for proper escaping of wildcard characters in queries.

Original NVD description (English source)

phpMyFAQ is an open source FAQ web application. Prior to version 4.2.0-alpha, an authenticated SQL LIKE wildcard injection vulnerability in phpMyFAQ’s chat user search allows any logged-in user to bypass the intended display-name search filter and enumerate active users. The endpoint escapes SQL string syntax but does not escape `%` and `_`, which remain active `LIKE` wildcards. Version 4.2.0-alpha patches the issue.
