Overview

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

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Resources Downloaded over Insecure Protocol through the configuration API. An attacker can execute arbitrary PHP code by uploading a malicious ZIP file as an attachment, modifying the upgrade.lastDownloadedPackage setting to reference the uploaded file, and extracting it into the application root. This is only exploitable if the attacker is an authenticated administrator with both CONFIGURATION_EDIT and ATTACHMENT_ADD privileges.
