PHP 7.3.x < 7.3.27 Null Dereference Vulnerability

high Web App Scanning Plugin ID 112702

Synopsis

PHP 7.3.x < 7.3.27 Null Dereference Vulnerability

Description

According to its self-reported version number, the version of PHP installed on the remote host is 7.3.x prior to 7.3.27, 7.4.x prior to 7.4.15, or 8.x prior to 8.0.2. It is, therefore, affected by a null dereference when XML is provided to the SoapClient query() function without an existing field.

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 7.3.27 or later.
