phpmyfaq/phpmyfaq is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution (RCE). The vulnerability is caused due to insufficient validation of the file’s content type within attachment.php. This allows an attacker to upload a malicious file with a .php extension, potentially leading to remote code execution (RCE) on the system.
