What is CVE-2026-47132?

An authenticated SQL LIKE wildcard injection vulnerability exists within the chat user search functionality of phpMyFAQ before version 4.2.0-alpha. This flaw allows a logged-in user to circumvent the display-name search filter, thereby enumerating active users. The underlying issue stems from inadequate escaping of SQL wildcards (% and _), which remain active in the search queries. Users should upgrade to version 4.2.0-alpha to mitigate this vulnerability and secure their applications.
