1) Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) (CVE-ID: N/A)

CWE-ID: CWE-918 - Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)

CVSSv4: 5.3 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:L/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a remote user to induce requests to internal HTTP services and potentially disclose sensitive information through generated PDFs.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient destination restrictions in phpMyFAQ PDF export when fetching FAQ images with localhost permitted in records.allowedMediaHosts. A remote user can insert <img src="http://localhost:9321/internal-secret.png"> into FAQ content they can modify and request its PDF export to trigger server-side retrieval and embed the returned image, potentially exposing internal information.
