PHP 8.3.x < 8.3.12 Multiple Vulnerabilities

critical Nessus Plugin ID 207821

Language:

Synopsis

The version PHP running on the remote web server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of PHP installed on the remote host is prior to 8.3.12. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the Version 8.3.12 advisory.

 - 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, etc. (CVE-2024-4577)

 - **PHP version 8.3.12** (26 Sep 2024) **CGI:** * Fixed bug [GHSA-p99j-rfp4-xqvq](https://github.com/php/php-src/security/advisories/GHSA-p99j-rfp4-xqvq) (Bypass of CVE-2024-4577, Parameter Injection Vulnerability).
