critical Nessus Plugin ID 200464

Language:

Synopsis

An application installed on the remote host is affected by a argument injection vulnerability.

Description

In PHP versions 8.1.* before 8.1.29, 8.2.* before 8.2.20, 8.3.* before 8.3.8, when using Apache and PHP-CGI on Windows, if the system is set up to use certain code pages, Windows may use 'Best-Fit' behavior to replace characters in command line given to Win32 API functions. PHP CGI module may misinterpret those characters as PHP options, which may allow a malicious user to pass options to PHP binary being run, and thus reveal the source code of scripts, run arbitrary PHP code on the server.

Solution

Upgrade to PHP version 8.1.29, 8.2.20, 8.3.8 or later.
