CVE-2026-24895 PUBLISHED

FrankenPHP affected by Path Confusion via Unicode casing in CGI path splitting allows execution of arbitrary files

Assigner: GitHub_M
Reserved: 27.01.2026 Published: 12.02.2026 Updated: 12.02.2026

FrankenPHP is a modern application server for PHP. Prior to 1.11.2, FrankenPHP’s CGI path splitting logic improperly handles Unicode characters during case conversion. The logic computes the split index (for finding .php) on a lowercased copy of the request path but applies that byte index to the original path. Because strings.ToLower() in Go can increase the byte length of certain UTF-8 characters (e.g., Ⱥ expands when lowercased), the computed index may not align with the correct position in the original string. This results in an incorrect SCRIPT_NAME and SCRIPT_FILENAME, potentially causing FrankenPHP to execute a file other than the one intended by the URI. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.11.2.
