> Lab PoC for the PHP 8.5.11 RCE chains CVE-2026-109618/109619: unauthenticated code execution via four HTTP requests, address disclosure through PS(id)→cookie and a UAF, plus a check of the 8.5.12 patch.

- Magnitude: 2.1 out of 10 — Cooling

## Useful for

- Reproduce the RCE chain on the php:8.5.11-apache image in an isolated lab
- Verify whether the 8.5.12 patch closes both CVEs on a GPG-verified build
- Assess WAF bypass via the Content-Type separator in multipart/form-data

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-25 (UTC), 00:10–01:36: 109 → 110 stars (+1). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +5 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 5 days old and already has 110 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this week: #192.
- Hacker News: “PHP2Shell: AI uncovers critical RCE in PHP” — 454 points, 3 days ago.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 24
- Issues and pull requests: 0
- Watchers: 0
- Average over the last week: 19 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 1

## Stars per day, last 6 days (oldest → newest, today is partial)

2026-10-20 … 2026-10-25: 1, 66, 31, 9, 3, 1

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
