phpMyFAQ: Public API endpoints expose emails and invisible questions
### Summary Several public API endpoints return email addresses and non‑public records (e.g. open questions with isVisible=false). ### Details OpenQuestionController::list() calls Question::getAll() with the default showAll=true, returning invisible questions and their emails. Similar exposures exist in comment/news/faq APIs. ### PoC ``` curl -i -H 'Accept-Language: en' \ http://192.168.40.16/phpmyfaq/api/v3.0/open-questions ``` ### Impact Privacy exposure of email addresses and non‑public content; increased risk of phishing/scraping.
