How to fix?

Upgrade phpmyfaq/phpmyfaq to version 4.1.7 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 glossary create and update endpoints due to truncating an escaped string before embedding it in a SQL literal. An attacker can access sensitive database information by crafting a payload with a dangling backslash to escape the closing quote and inject arbitrary SQL commands. This is only exploitable if the attacker is an authenticated user with glossary add or edit permissions.
