tag_summary = "phpMyFAQ is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability because the
application fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input.

An attacker may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary script code
in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected
site. This may allow the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication
credentials and to launch other attacks.

Versions prior to phpMyFAQ 2.5.2 and 2.0.17 are vulnerable.";
