CVE-2026-24420

phpMyFAQ is an open source FAQ web application. Versions 4.0.16 and below allow an authenticated user without the dlatta

phpMyFAQ is an open source FAQ web application. Versions 4.0.16 and below allow an authenticated user without the dlattachment permission to download FAQ attachments due to a incomprehensive permissions check. The presence of a right key is improperly validated as proof of authorization in attachment.php.

Additionally, the group and user permission logic contains a flawed conditional expression that may allow unauthorized access. This issue has been fixed in version.
