Root Cause Analysis

The vulnerability stemmed from insufficient server-side password validation. The patch added critical password length checks in phpmyfaq/admin/ajax.user.php:

In user creation flow: Added check for strlen() > 7 when automaticPassword is disabled
In password update flow: Added check for strlen() > 7 for new passwords These missing checks in the server-side request handlers (processing POST data for user management) directly enabled weak password acceptance. Client-side changes in user.js and user.php (minlength=8) were insufficient as they could be bypassed, making the server-side validation gap the root cause.
