What is CVE-2026-45008?

phpMyFAQ versions prior to 4.1.2 are susceptible to a path traversal vulnerability within the Client::deleteClientFolder function. This flaw permits attackers, once they possess the INSTANCE_DELETE permission, to construct malicious URLs that leverage traversal sequences (e.g., https://../../../) to delete arbitrary directories outside the designated client folder structure. This could potentially lead to unauthorized deletions and serious data loss for users.
