CVE-2026-47132
Published:September 24, 2026
Updated:October 13, 2026
phpMyFAQ is an open source FAQ web application. Prior to version 4.2.0-alpha, an authenticated SQL LIKE wildcard injection vulnerability in phpMyFAQ’s chat user search allows any logged-in user to bypass the intended display-name search filter and enumerate active users. The endpoint escapes SQL string syntax but does not escape "%" and "_", which remain active "LIKE" wildcards. Version 4.2.0-alpha patches the issue.
