Official Description

Weak Password Requirements in GitHub repository thorsten/phpmyfaq prior to 3.1.10.

Source: NIST NVD / MITRE CVE Database

Attack Vector Analysis — CITED Relevance

An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by creating a new user account with a weak password or by resetting an existing user's password to a weak one. This can be done through the web interface, and the weak password requirements do not prevent the use of easily guessable or brute-forceable passwords.

Exploitation Likelihood: HIGH
