Description
phpMyFAQ before 4.1.7 stores password reset tokens in a publicly accessible tracking file when user tracking is enabled. Unauthenticated attackers can read the tracking file at content/core/data/trackingDDMMYYYY to extract reset tokens and replay them against the password reset API to take over user accounts.
