PHP 8.4.x < 8.4.23 Multiple Vulnerabilities

medium Web App Scanning Plugin ID 115288

Synopsis

PHP 8.4.x < 8.4.23 Multiple Vulnerabilities

Description

According to its self-reported version number, the version of PHP installed on the remote host is 8.2.x prior to 8.2.32, 8.3.x prior to 8.3.32, 8.4.x to 8.4.23 or 8.5.x prior to 8.5.8. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

 - A heap buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the OpenSSL extension due to incorrect buffer allocation in openssl_encrypt() when using the AES-WRAP-PAD cipher, causing OpenSSL to write past allocated heap memory and leading to heap corruption or application crash. (CVE-2026-14355)

 - A segfault vulnerability exists in the Streams extension in file_get_contents() when fetching an HTTPS URL with a proxy configured. (CVE-2026-12184)

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 8.4.23 or later.
