We just reported 6 vulnerabilities in PHP 8.4 — 6 memory-safety bugs found via variant analysis (OOB read, stack overflow, 4× use-after-free), 8.4.27 too! + 1 bug only for X-MASS 🎁🎄
#php #CyberSecurity #PHP2Shell #InfoSec
Closing out #php2shell: a universal black-box PoC for PHP's session upload-progress bug. One pure-HTTP chain - arm the allocator, spray fake refs, leak the heap, beat ASLR, turn a destructor into system(). Verified blind on Debian 13 PHP 8.4.24, x86-64 + arm64: RCE as www-data.
Spent an afternoon reading 4000 files to answer one question: does request
data reach unserialize()?
Wrote the tool instead of repeating it. Read-only — no writes, no execution,
no network. Exit 0 = no candidates, 2 = go read these files.

RCE PHP☠️ Every release we tested, from 7.0.33 through 8.5.12 -fourteen releases across eleven branches - reproduces the controlled dereference with the default allocator. 5.6.40 does not. The fix exists only on master and no 8.5.13 has shipped, so no released PHP contains it.
php2shell (CVE-2026-109618/109619) is now on GitHub in two halves:
🔓 public — the measurements: negative control, 6-image matrix, why FPM doesn't transfer
🔒 private — the working exploit, embargoed until 25 Nov 2026
Defenders who need the code can ask.

Foreshadow without TSX: our lab reproduces L1TF against a real SGX enclave on a Skylake i3-6100, recovering 64/64 secret bytes with a split cache oracle. It also demonstrates SIGSEGV-driven register-frame recovery—without TSX.

Fallout (CVE-2018-12126) exposes data left in the CPU’s store buffer through transient execution. Our lab explores the signal, cache-based decoding and experimental limits on tested hardware.

Spectre v1, from the cache trace to the recovered byte. Our GGSEC lab demonstrates a bounds-check bypass on x86-64 and Raspberry Pi 5 (ARM64), recovering the same canary through cache timing.
