What is CVE-2026-109619?

A vulnerability in PHP allows for the possibility of remote code execution due to improper management of global state that can reference freed memory. In certain scenarios, the global state retains stale information from previous requests, potentially enabling an attacker to execute arbitrary code. This issue arises when the global state does not reset correctly after a request is processed, resulting in the exposure of sensitive memory states to subsequent requests.

Affected Version(s)

PHP 8.2.* < 8.2.35

PHP 8.3.* < 8.3.36

PHP 8.4.* < 8.4.27
