CVE-2026-76214 PUBLISHED

phpMyFAQ before 4.1.7 WebAuthn Replay Attack via Challenge

Assigner: VulnCheck
Reserved: 19.08.2026 Published: 19.08.2026 Updated: 19.08.2026

phpMyFAQ before 4.1.7 (affected versions <= 4.1.5) 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.
