GHSA-pqh6-8fxf-jx22: phpMyFAQ has stored XSS via | raw Filter in search.twig — html_entity_decode(strip_tags()) Bypass in Search Result Rendering

The search result rendering template (search.twig) outputs FAQ content fields result.question and result.answerPreview using Twig’s | raw filter, which completely disables the template engine’s built-in auto-escaping.

A user with FAQ editor/contributor privileges can store a payload encoded as HTML entities. During search result construction, html_entity_decode(strip_tags(...)) restores the raw HTML tags — bypassing strip_tags() — and the restored payload is injected into every visitor’s browser via the | raw output.

This vulnerability is distinct from GHSA-cv2g-8cj8-vgc7 (affects faq.twig, bypass via regex mismatch in Filter::removeAttributes()) and is not addressed by the 4.1.1 patch.
