What is CVE-2014-6046?

The phpMyFAQ application is susceptible to several cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerabilities that allow remote attackers to bypass authentication controls for various critical operations. These include the ability to delete active users through improper CSRF token validation, manage open questions, activate or publish FAQs, and manipulate glossary terms, news, and comments. Attackers can exploit the lack of adequate CSRF protection to execute unauthorized actions on behalf of legitimate users, jeopardizing user data integrity and application security.
