# syrex1013/php2shell

> PoC exploit for a heap use-after-free in PHP's session.upload_progress handler (CVE-2026-109618/109619) leading to RCE. Includes Docker labs to reproduce the UAF and a full exploit chain.

- Magnitude: 4.6 out of 10 — Early signal
- Stars: 119 total · +2 stars measured 2026-10-23, 08:59–10:25 UTC, ≈ 20 by evening
- Star trust: star growth looks organic

## Useful for

- Reproduce the UAF primitive in an isolated Docker lab on PHP 8.4.4-fpm
- Check whether a target PHP host is vulnerable using --probe-only
- Exploit RCE via session poison + LFI, log poison, FastCGI, or PEAR webshell

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-23 (UTC), 08:59–10:25: 117 → 119 stars (+2). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +20 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 2 days old and already has 119 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- About 20 forks a day — people are taking the code.
- Recent forks include notable developers: @d3ndr1t30x (221 followers).

## 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: 77
- Issues and pull requests: 1
- Watchers: 0
- Average over the last week: 44 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 1

## Stars per day, last 3 days (oldest → newest, today is partial)

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.
