High CVSS 7.4

CVE-2026-76214

NVD analysis in progress

phpMyFAQ before 4.1.7 fails to persist the WebAuthn login challenge generated by prepareForLogin, because neither WebAuthn controller saves the mutated key objects back to the database. At login the anti-replay comparison is skipped by its own null guard, allowing an attacker who captures a successful WebAuthn assertion to replay it indefinitely and authenticate as the user without any interaction or hardware key.

What this means

Exposure
Exploitable remotely over the network, without authentication and with no action from the victim. The attack does require particular conditions, which makes it less systematic.
Impact
An attacker can read sensitive data and modify or destroy data.
Likelihood
Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.

What to doFold into the next patch cycle. Start with the instances exposed to the internet.
