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.\n\n## Affected\n\n- `phpmyfaq < 4.0.16`\n- `phpmyfaq = 4.1.0`\n\n## Remediation\n\nUpgrade past the affected range:\n\n- `phpmyfaq 4.0.16`","depth":"midnight","depthScore":54,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":41.3,"likelihood":0.4,"exploitation":12,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
