# junaire/CVE-2026-109618-exploit > Working exploit and Docker target for an unauthenticated RCE in PHP's session.upload_progress handling (CVE-2026-109618/109619), affecting versions 5.4.0–8.5.11. - Magnitude: 4.9 out of 10 — Early signal - Stars: 118 total · +3 stars measured 2026-10-22, 10:42–12:52 UTC, ≈ 24 by evening - Star trust: star growth looks organic - Category: Security · Language: Python · Created: 2026-10-21 · Last push: 2026-10-21 - GitHub: https://github.com/junaire/CVE-2026-109618-exploit · Page: https://gitnova.dev/en/r/junaire/CVE-2026-109618-exploit ## Useful for - Test your PHP host for the vulnerability by running the exploit against the local Docker target - Reproduce the session fixation and object injection chain for pentest training - Match a real app's gadget class and property via the --gadget and --prop flags ## Why it’s here - Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-22 (UTC), 10:42–12:52: 115 → 118 stars (+3). This is the change over that interval. - Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +24 stars, using observed gains and the previous day. - The repository is 1 day old and already has 118 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet. - Top new repositories this week: #198. - About 31 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: 72 - Issues and pull requests: 0 - Watchers: 0 - Average over the last week: 61 per day - Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks) - Stars in the last hour (measured): 1 ## Stars per day, last 2 days (oldest → newest, today is partial) 2026-10-21 … 2026-10-22: 97, 3 ## Spotted in now - Top new repositories this week: #198 ## Similar by description 1. **ikow/php2shell-poc** — 8.4 · Early signal · Security · Python · +416 stars measured 2026-10-22, 00:37–12:51 UTC, ≈ 853 by evening 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.

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.
