> A proof-of-concept toolkit for two PHP pre-auth RCE vulnerabilities (CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619) affecting PHP 5.4.0 through 8.5.11, with exploits, detection rules, and a lab environment.

- Magnitude: 8.3 out of 10 — Early signal
- Stars: 1,097 total · +151 stars measured 2026-10-22, 00:37–04:07 UTC, ≈ 1,018 by evening
- Star trust: star growth looks organic

## Useful for

- Reproduce the OOM-based RCE chain against a local PHP-FPM or mod_php lab container.
- Deploy the provided Suricata, Sigma, or ModSecurity rules to detect session.upload_progress exploitation attempts.
- Verify whether a target PHP version is vulnerable using the included PoC verification scripts.

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-22 (UTC), 00:37–04:07: 946 → 1097 stars (+151). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +1,018 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 1 day old and already has 1,097 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this week: #14.
- About 280 forks a day — people are taking the code.

## 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: 400
- Issues and pull requests: 4
- Watchers: 5
- Average over the last week: 1,061 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 34

## Stars per day, last 2 days (oldest → newest, today is partial)

2026-10-21 … 2026-10-22: 1104, 151

## Magnitude by day, last 2 days

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.
