About the project

Operational information on the critical PHP vulnerabilities CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619 allowing unauthenticated RCE: patching guidance, detection material and affected software inventories.

Useful for
  • Check PHP versions on internet-facing servers and update to fixed releases
  • Look up third-party products and images bundling PHP in the repository inventories
  • Apply temporary mitigations when patching is not possible and monitor logs

6.0 Early signal Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of October 22, 2026, 03:36 UTC.

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.

Stars per day

075150October 21, 2026October 22, 2026

Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.

Why it’s trending

  • Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-22 (UTC), 00:37–03:25: 116 → 129 stars (+13). This is the change over that interval.
  • Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +119 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
  • The repository is 1 day old and already has 129 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
  • Top new repositories this week: #172.
  • About 53 forks a day — people are taking the code.
  • Recent forks include notable developers: @rescenic (1,338 followers).

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
