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 7.4.32. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the Version 7.4.32 advisory.

- In PHP versions before 7.4.31, 8.0.24 and 8.1.11, the phar uncompressor code would recursively uncompress quines gzip files, resulting in an infinite loop. (CVE-2022-31628)

- In PHP versions before 7.4.31, 8.0.24 and 8.1.11, the vulnerability enables network and same-site attackers to set a standard insecure cookie in the victim's browser which is treated as a `__Host-` or `__Secure-` cookie by PHP applications. (CVE-2022-31629)

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

Solution

Upgrade to PHP version 7.4.32 or later.
