    phpMyFAQ just got a 9.8 (CVE-2026-111911): WebAuthn enrollment works without a session, skips the challenge check and accepts fmt=none. Know a username, add your own passkey, log in. Password and TOTP never come up. Who tests passkey enrollment, not just login? #AppSec

    phpMyFAQ 4.1.8以下でWebAuthnを有効にしていると、認証なしで他人のアカウントに鍵を足され、パスワードも二要素も通らずに乗っ取られる恐れ。CVSS 9.8。4.1.9で修正済みです。 https://cve.autoarticles.net/cve/CVE-2026-111911

    phpMyFAQ's passkey registration attached a credential to any account without authenticating, so WebAuthn became the way past both the password and TOTP. No exploitation reported. https://severitydaily.com/phpmyfaq-cve-2026-111911-webauthn-fmt-none-registration-auth-bypass-9-8-28-records-4-1-9/
