Overview
thorsten/phpmyfaq is a FAQ system for PHP and MySQL, PostgreSQL and other databases
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature via the register() method in AuthWebAuthn.php, which fails to validate the WebAuthn registration challenge and lacks a CSRF check. An unauthenticated attacker can forge a WebAuthn registration request by replaying or crafting a response that omits or substitutes the one-time challenge, bypassing the binding between the server-issued challenge and the authenticator's attestation. This allows the attacker to register an arbitrary credential, leading to full account compromise.
