thorsten/phpmyfaq is vulnerable to Cross-site Scripting (XSS). An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by tricking a user into clicking on a malicious link or a file via the file attachment upload functionality, which would contain a specially crafted XSS payload that would be injected into the web page when the user visits the link or opens the file. The attacker could then use the injected code to steal cookies, session tokens, or other sensitive information from the user’s browser.
