How to fix?

Upgrade phpmyfaq/phpmyfaq to version 4.0.14 or higher.

Overview

phpmyfaq/phpmyfaq is a FAQ system for PHP and MySQL, PostgreSQL and other databases

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to SQL Injection in the update() method in Configuration.php. A user with 'Configuration Edit' permissions can execute arbitrary SQL commands by submitting crafted input for the $newConfigValues array, which is passed in as the name parameter. Successful exploitation can result in full compromise of the database, including reading, modifying, or deleting all data, and may potentially allow remote code execution depending on the database configuration.
