CWE ID 89

Summary

CVE-2024-27299 is a SQL injection vulnerability affecting phpMyFAQ, an open-source FAQ web application. The issue lies in the "Add News" functionality where the email address in the `authorEmail` field is not properly escaped. This vulnerability allows authenticated users with the rights to add/edit FAQ news to exfiltrate data, take over accounts, and potentially achieve remote code execution. The insufficient protection comes from relying on PHP's `FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL` filter, which is inadequate against SQL injection attacks. The vulnerability is present in phpMyFAQ version 3.2.5 and is fixed in 3.2.6.
