| Detailed Description |
The phpMyFAQ, according to its version number, has an SQL injection vulnerability in the username field. phpMyFAQ is a freely available FAQ-system that uses a MySQL database for Microsoft Windows operating systems. phpMyFAQ versions 1.4 and 1.5 allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary SQL commands, due to the application failing to properly sanitize user-supplied input to the 'username' field of forum entries before using it in a SQL query. This vulnerability could permit a remote attacker to pass malicious input to database queries, potentially resulting in data exposure, modification of the query logic, or even data modification or attacks against the database itself.
* Note: This check solely relied on the version number of the phpMyFaq installed on the remote Web server to assess this vulnerability, so this might be a false positive.
