php2shell vulnerabilities (CVE-2026-109618, CVE-2026-109619)

Operational information: 28 October 2026 16:46 CET
Software list last status update: 4 November 2026 08:15 CET

TLP:CLEAR

This repository contains operational information regarding the critical PHP vulnerabilities tracked by CERT-EU as CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619.

PHP is a widely used open-source server-side scripting language, so these vulnerabilities may affect a broad range of internet-facing web applications and products that embed or depend on PHP.

Current status

This repository tracks 948 products, including 215 vulnerable and 185 fixed.

On 21 October 2026, PHP published fixed releases for CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619: PHP 8.5.12, 8.4.27, 8.3.36 and 8.2.35. PHP states that both vulnerabilities can allow unauthenticated remote code execution and that all PHP installations serving web requests are at risk, including PHP-FPM, Apache with mod_php, php-cgi, FrankenPHP and LiteSpeed. PHP considers the risk highest for mod_php, where an unauthenticated request can trigger exploitation before application code runs.

PHP describes CVE-2026-109618 as remote code execution via out-of-memory corruption during request cleanup, and CVE-2026-109619 as remote code execution via stale request-owned global state reused by a later request on the same worker. PHP 8.1 and older are no longer supported by the PHP project; distributions and LTS vendors may provide backported packages, and PHP has published minimal source backports for PHP 7.4, 8.0 and 8.1.

On 23 October 2026, PHP published an informational advisory suggesting session.upload_progress.enabled=0 until the next regular bugfix release to fully protect from an unlikely RCE vector (CVE-2026-115560). PHP will publish a full advisory with the next release; this repository does not track CVE-2026-115560 separately in the software list.

The impact is not limited to websites: PHP is also embedded in appliances, network devices, management interfaces and other vendor products where administrators may not be able to update PHP directly.

Recommended actions

  • Identify PHP-based applications and their runtime versions, with priority on internet-facing systems and web-serving SAPIs.
  • Update to PHP 8.5.12, 8.4.27, 8.3.36 or 8.2.35, or apply vendor-provided backported packages.
  • After updating, keep session.upload_progress.enabled=0 until the next regular PHP bugfix release (PHP informational advisory of 23 October 2026, CVE-2026-115560), unless your application needs the feature and never changes session.serialize_handler at runtime.
  • Check third-party images, appliances and embedded runtimes separately; for products that bundle PHP, apply vendor updates as soon as they become available.
  • If immediate patching is not possible, follow PHP's temporary mitigations, including disabling session.upload_progress, restarting workers, and reviewing the official memory_limit, post_max_size and PHP 8.5 fatal_error_backtraces guidance. PHP states that these measures are not complete fixes.
  • Monitor vendor advisories, internet-facing logs, and public exploit activity.

Contributions welcome

If you have any additional information to share relevant to these PHP vulnerabilities, feel free to open a Pull request. New to this? Read how to contribute in GitHub's documentation.

For updates to the software list: our strong preference is to receive edits in the SPDX source files in software/spdx/. The Markdown list pages are generated automatically from those files. In case this proves too difficult: don't worry. We'll attempt to backport edits in the .md files to the SPDX source files, but without any guarantees.
