Everyone running affected versions of phpMyFAQ is encouraged to upgrade immediately. The new 1.3.13 release doesn't include other changes, so upgrading from 1.3.12 is safe. phpMyFAQ 1.4.0 alpha2 includes some unready new features like a better integration of the WYSIWYG editor, a better PDF export, and dozens of bug fixes. A detailed security advisory is available. We would like to thank Stefan Esser of e-matters GmbH for discovering this vulnerability. A patch for phpMyFAQ 1.2.x is available too.
