DESCRIPTION:
Tobias Klein has reported some vulnerabilities in phpMyFAQ, which can
be exploited by malicious people to conduct script insertion attacks.

Input passed to the "thema", "username", and "usermail" parameters in
the "add content" page isn't properly sanitised before being used.
This can be exploited to inject arbitrary HTML and script code, which
will be executed in a user's browser session in context of an affected
site when the malicious user data is viewed.

The vulnerabilities have been reported in version 1.5.3 and prior.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 1.5.4.
