CVE-2026-56738

NVD: phpMyFAQ is an open source FAQ web application. NVD: The StopWords::add() method inversions prior to 4.1.6 builds a SQL INSERT statement using sprintf() and inserts the user-supplied stop word value directly into the query string without calling the application's database escaping function on it. NVD: A sibling method, StopWords::update(), which modifies an existing stop word, correctly escapes the same kind of input.
