      "value": "phpMyFAQ is an open source FAQ web application. Versions prior to  4.1.4 have Missing Authorization in the API CategoryController. CVE-2026-24421 addressed this in the BackupController by adding: $this->userHasPermission(PermissionType::BACKUP). The same fix was not applied to 4 other write endpoints in the public API. All 4 only call $this->hasValidToken() — which checks a shared API key header, rather than the individual user's role permissions. The following APIs are affected: POST /api/v4.0/category (CategoryController::create), POST /api/v4.0/faq (FaqController::create), PUT /api/v4.0/faq (FaqController::update), and POST /api/v4.0/question (QuestionController::create). This issue has been fixed in version 4.1.4."

CVE-2026-24421 abordó esto en el BackupController añadiendo: $this  ->  userHasPermission(PermissionType::BACKUP). La misma corrección no se aplicó a otros 4 endpoints de escritura en la API pública. Los 4 solo llaman a $this  ->  hasValidToken() - que verifica un encabezado de clave API compartido, en lugar de los permisos de rol del usuario individual. Las siguientes APIs están afectadas: POST /api/v4.0/category (CategoryController::create), POST /api/v4.0/faq (FaqController::create), PUT /api/v4.0/faq (FaqController::update), y POST /api/v4.0/question (QuestionController::create). Este problema ha sido solucionado en la versión 4.1.4."
