What is CVE-2026-111907?

phpMyFAQ versions 4.0.0 through 4.1.8 are susceptible to a cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability that affects the POST /admin/api/update-database endpoint. This vulnerability allows attackers to execute database migrations without proper validation of CSRF tokens. By tricking a legitimate user with CONFIGURATION_EDIT permissions into making a crafted request, an attacker can potentially compromise database integrity or availability, posing a significant risk to the overall functionality of the application.
