CVE-2026-115560

Overview

AI description

Automated description summarized from trusted sources.

CVE-2026-115560 is a remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability in PHP's session upload progress feature, which was disclosed by the PHP project in October 2026. The vulnerability stems from the inconsistent handling of session data when an application changes its serialization formats during request processing. It specifically affects environments where the `session.serialize_handler` is initially configured as `php_binary` or `php_serialize`, but is subsequently changed to `php` at runtime using `ini_set()` before `session_start()` is called, while the session upload progress feature remains active. Because this vulnerability requires a highly specific and uncommon combination of configuration settings and application code, the PHP security team has characterized it as an unlikely vector in practice. As a result, the issue is being addressed through PHP's routine release cycle rather than an emergency patch. Until a formal update is released, the recommended mitigation is to disable the session upload progress feature by setting `session.upload_progress.enabled = 0` in the PHP configuration.

  9. This PHP vulnerability taught owners one hard lesson: "Patched" is a status that expires. PHP2Shell (CVE-2026-109618 / CVE-2026-109619, CVSS 9.2) hit PHP itself — the layer below WordPress, plugins, and frameworks. A third flaw, CVE-2026-115560, affects even fully patched
