CVE-2026-24894 (GCVE-0-2026-24894)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-02-12 19:12 – Updated: 2026-02-12 20:04

Title

FrankenPHP leaks session data between requests in worker mode

Summary

FrankenPHP is a modern application server for PHP. Prior to 1.11.2, when running FrankenPHP in worker mode, the $_SESSION superglobal is not correctly reset between requests. This allows a subsequent request processed by the same worker to access the $_SESSION data of the previous request (potentially belonging to a different user) before session_start() is called. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.11.2.

Severity

8.7 (High)

GHSA-R3XH-3R3W-47GP

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-02-12 15:29 – Updated: 2026-02-12 22:07

Summary

FrankenPHP leaks session data between requests in worker mode

Details

Summary

When running FrankenPHP in worker mode, the $_SESSION superglobal is not correctly reset between requests. This allows a subsequent request processed by the same worker to access the $_SESSION data of the previous request (potentially belonging to a different user) before session_start() is called.

Details

In standard PHP execution, the environment is torn down completely after every request. In FrankenPHP's worker mode, the application stays in memory, and superglobals are manually reset between requests.

The vulnerability exists because $_SESSION is stored in the Zend Engine's symbol table (EG(symbol_table)). While the standard PHP request shutdown (RSHUTDOWN) decrements the reference count of the session data, it does not remove the $_SESSION variable itself from the symbol table. FrankenPHP's reset logic (frankenphp_reset_super_globals) previously cleared other superglobals but failed to explicitly delete $_SESSION.

Consequently, until session_start() is called in the new request (which re-initializes the variable), the $_SESSION array retains the data from the previous request processed by that specific worker thread.

Impact

This is a cross-request data leakage vulnerability.

Confidentiality: If an application reads $_SESSION before calling session_start(), it can access sensitive information (authentication tokens, user IDs, PII) belonging to the previous user.
Logic Errors / Impersonation: If application logic relies on $_SESSION being empty or unset to detect a "guest" state, or checks for specific keys in $_SESSION prior to session initialization, a malicious actor (or accidental race condition) could trigger privilege escalation or user impersonation.

This affects only users running FrankenPHP in worker mode and not session_start() for each request, which is done by default by most frameworks.

PoC

The following steps demonstrate the issue (derived from the regression tests added in the fix):

Client A sends a request that starts a session and sets sensitive data:

// Request 1
session_start();
$_SESSION['secret'] = 'AliceData';
session_write_close();

Client B (or the same client without cookies) sends a request to the same worker. This script checks $_SESSION without starting a session:

// Request 2
// session_start() is NOT called
if (!empty($_SESSION)) {
    echo "Leaked Data: " . $_SESSION['secret'];
}

Result: Client B receives "Leaked Data: AliceData".

Workarounds

Ensure session_start() is called immediately at the entry point of your worker script to overwrite any residual data (though this may not cover all edge cases if middleware runs before the controller).
Manually unset $_SESSION at the very beginning of the worker loop, before handling the request.

  "details": "### Summary\n\nWhen running FrankenPHP in **worker mode**, the `$_SESSION` superglobal is not correctly reset between requests. This allows a subsequent request processed by the same worker to access the `$_SESSION` data of the previous request (potentially belonging to a different user) before `session_start()` is called.\n\n### Details\n\nIn standard PHP execution, the environment is torn down completely after every request. In FrankenPHP\u0027s worker mode, the application stays in memory, and superglobals are manually reset between requests.\n\nThe vulnerability exists because `$_SESSION` is stored in the Zend Engine\u0027s symbol table (`EG(symbol_table)`). While the standard PHP request shutdown (RSHUTDOWN) decrements the reference count of the session data, it does not remove the `$_SESSION` variable itself from the symbol table. FrankenPHP\u0027s reset logic (`frankenphp_reset_super_globals`) previously cleared other superglobals but failed to explicitly delete `$_SESSION`.\n\nConsequently, until `session_start()` is called in the new request (which re-initializes the variable), the `$_SESSION` array retains the data from the previous request processed by that specific worker thread.\n\n### Impact\n\nThis is a **cross-request data leakage** vulnerability.\n\n* **Confidentiality:** If an application reads `$_SESSION` before calling `session_start()`, it can access sensitive information (authentication tokens, user IDs, PII) belonging to the previous user.\n* **Logic Errors / Impersonation:** If application logic relies on `$_SESSION` being empty or unset to detect a \"guest\" state, or checks for specific keys in `$_SESSION` prior to session initialization, a malicious actor (or accidental race condition) could trigger privilege escalation or user impersonation.\n\nThis affects only users running FrankenPHP in **worker mode** and not `session_start()` for each request, which is done by default by most frameworks.\n\n### PoC\n\nThe following steps demonstrate the issue (derived from the regression tests added in the fix):\n\n1. **Client A** sends a request that starts a session and sets sensitive data:\n\n```php\n// Request 1\nsession_start();\n$_SESSION[\u0027secret\u0027] = \u0027AliceData\u0027;\nsession_write_close();\n```\n\n2. **Client B** (or the same client without cookies) sends a request to the same worker. This script checks `$_SESSION` *without* starting a session:\n\n```php\n// Request 2\n// session_start() is NOT called\nif (!empty($_SESSION)) {\n    echo \"Leaked Data: \" . $_SESSION[\u0027secret\u0027];\n}\n```\n\n\n3. **Result:** Client B receives \"Leaked Data: AliceData\".\n\n### Workarounds\n\n* Ensure `session_start()` is called immediately at the entry point of your worker script to overwrite any residual data (though this may not cover all edge cases if middleware runs before the controller).\n* Manually unset `$_SESSION` at the very beginning of the worker loop, before handling the request.",

How durations are calculated

Following the VTEM framework (Black Hat USA 2015), time to patch starts when the vendor or a coordinator was informed, total time to patch at discovery, and disclosure to patch at public disclosure; vendor response time runs from the report to its acknowledgement. Time to exploit and time unpatched start at the earliest discovery or report, falling back to public disclosure. Unpatched time ends at the first recorded patch, or the calculation time when no patch is recorded. Exploitation to patch shows the interval between those two events; a published proof of concept is a public exploit, not exploitation.

Each result shows its source dates. A negative interval means the end event came first; when date-only inputs leave the order open, the result says so. Date-only inputs are approximate. The earliest evidence wins: KEV report dates and sightings are labelled as such. Records describing another vulnerability are listed but never calculated from, and a PoC alone does not establish exploitation. Missing patch evidence does not prove that no patch exists. Filters below change the event list only.
