Vulnerability details
The vulnerability allows a remote user to disclose unpublished FAQ question text and edit URLs, recent-account identities and registration timestamps, site-wide statistics, and the last-backup date.
The vulnerability exists due to missing authorization in the phpMyFAQ administration dashboard controller when rendering administrative widgets after checking only authentication. A remote user can send GET /admin/index.php/ using an activated account with no administrative permissions to read this restricted information, but not draft answer bodies.
