SlowMist's PHP Vulnerability Report: Affects Web3 Off-Chain Infrastructure, Project Teams Should Immediately Upgrade to the Latest Version
32 minutes ago
SlowMist Security Team has released an in-depth analysis report on critical PHP vulnerabilities, stating that two recently disclosed high-severity PHP flaws pose systemic risks to Web3’s off-chain segments. Tracked as CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619, both vulnerabilities scored 9.2 on the CVSS v4.0 scale, classified as critical severity. Attackers do not need usernames, passwords, or API keys—they only need to send crafted requests to publicly exposed PHP services to execute arbitrary code with the web service process’s privileges. SlowMist notes the vulnerabilities affect all PHP versions from 5.4 to 8.5.11, with details leaked before official patches were released. Amazon Threat Intelligence observed active exploitation attempts four days prior to public disclosure. SlowMist’s threat intelligence system MistEye scanned 1,488 crypto-related domains, finding 793 (≈53.3%) carry direct PHP fingerprints. This means a large number of Web3 projects’ off-chain infrastructure—including frontends, APIs, airdrop claim pages, admin dashboards, and custodial wallet services—may run on vulnerable PHP environments. SlowMist emphasizes that Web3 security cannot focus solely on on-chain smart contracts. Attackers who exploit PHP vulnerabilities to compromise a project’s web server can alter frontends, trick users into signing malicious transactions, and directly steal assets. Even if on-chain contracts have no flaws, this does not guarantee the safety of off-chain components operating around them. For remediation, the PHP team has released versions 8.5.12, 8.4.27, 8.3.36, and 8.2.35; affected projects should upgrade immediately. PHP 8.1 and older versions have reached end of regular upstream support and must be migrated as soon as possible. SlowMist also warns that temporary mitigation measures for cases where upgrades cannot be done immediately only reduce risks from specific attack vectors—applying patches remains the only definitive solution.
