Duplicate Advisory

Original Description

phpMyFAQ before 4.1.2 contains a missing authorization vulnerability in the DELETE /admin/api/content/tags/{tagId} endpoint that allows any authenticated user to delete tags. Any logged-in user, including regular frontend users, can delete arbitrary tags by sending a DELETE request with a valid session cookie, resulting in permanent data loss and disruption of FAQ organization.
