CVE-2024-27300

Summary

CVE-2024-27300 is a stored XSS vulnerability affecting phpMyFAQ, an open-source FAQ web application. The issue lies in the inadequacy of PHP's `FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL` function, which only validates email format but fails to secure its content. Consequently, the `email` field in the user control panel page is susceptible to XSS attacks. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to inject and execute arbitrary client-side JavaScript within another user's phpMyFAQ session. Version 3.2.6 contains the necessary fix for this issue.
