CVE-2025-69200: Phpmyfaq

High severity, CVSS 7.5. EPSS: 2.1% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

phpMyFAQ is an open source FAQ web application. In versions prior to 4.0.16, an unauthenticated remote attacker can trigger generation of a configuration backup ZIP via `POST /api/setup/backup` and then download the generated ZIP from a web-accessible location. The ZIP contains sensitive configuration files (e.g., `database.php` with database credentials), leading to high-impact information disclosure and potential follow-on compromise. Version 4.0.16 fixes the issue.

Affected products

• Phpmyfaq Phpmyfaq: before 4.0.16 (fixed in 4.0.16); version 4.1.0 only
