phpMyFAQ is prone to multiple cross-site scripting
vulnerabilities because the application fails to properly
sanitize user-supplied input.

An attacker may leverage these issues 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 2.5.5 are vulnerable.
