PHP 8.x < 8.0.1 Input Validation Error

medium Web App Scanning Plugin ID 112677

Synopsis

PHP 8.x < 8.0.1 Input Validation Error

Description

According to its self-reported version number, the version of PHP installed on the remote host is 7.3.x prior to 7.3.26, 7.4.x prior to 7.4.14, or 8.x prior to 8.0.1. It is, therefore, affected by an input validation error due to insufficient validation of a URL, as specified by the changelogs of the respective fixed releases. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by including an '@' character, in order to bypass the URL filter.

Note that the scanner has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to PHP version 8.0.1 or later.
