Overview

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

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure due to the storage of password reset tokens in a publicly accessible tracking file when user tracking is enabled. An attacker can gain unauthorized access to user accounts by reading the file at content/core/data/trackingDDMMYYYY and replaying the extracted reset tokens against the password reset API. This is only exploitable if user tracking is enabled.
