MS-ISAC CYBERSECURITY ADVISORY

MS-ISAC ADVISORY NUMBER:

2024-067

DATE(S) ISSUED:
06/07/2024

SUBJECT:
Multiple Vulnerabilities in PHP Could Allow for Remote Code Execution

OVERVIEW:
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in PHP which could allow for remote code execution. PHP is a programming language originally designed for use in web-based applications with HTML content. Successful exploitation could allow for remote code execution in the context of the affected service account. Depending on the privileges associated with the service account an attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. Service accounts that are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than those who operate with administrative user rights.

THREAT INTELLIGENCE:
Open-source reports have stated that proof of concept exploits are available for CVE-2024-4577.

SYSTEMS AFFECTED:
  • PHP versions: 5 - 8.3.7
