DescriptionNVD

In PHP versions 8.2.* before 8.2.32, 8.3.* before 8.3.32, 8.4.* before 8.4.23, 8.5.* before 8.5.8, the AES-WRAP-PAD algorithm implementation in OpenSSL extension contains a buffer allocation flaw. The output buffer for the AES key-wrap-with-padding operation is sized from the plaintext length without accounting for RFC 5649 expansion. This may cause OpenSSL to write beyond allocated memory, corrupting heap metadata and triggering application abort.

AnalysisAI

Heap-based buffer overflow in PHP's OpenSSL extension affects all maintained PHP branches (8.2.x, 8.3.x, 8.4.x, 8.5.x) when the AES key-wrap-with-padding (AES-WRAP-PAD) algorithm per RFC 5649 is invoked. The output buffer is allocated based only on plaintext length, omitting the mandatory RFC 5649 padding expansion, causing OpenSSL to write beyond the allocated heap region, corrupt heap metadata, and abort the process. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Identify PHP endpoint invoking AES-WRAP-PAD with external input
Delivery
Submit crafted plaintext to key-wrap operation
Exploit
Trigger undersized heap buffer allocation in OpenSSL extension
Execution
OpenSSL writes RFC 5649 padded output beyond buffer boundary
Persist
Heap metadata corrupted
Impact
PHP worker process aborts

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires that the PHP application explicitly uses the AES key-wrap-with-padding algorithm via the OpenSSL extension - specifically, that openssl_encrypt() or openssl_decrypt() is called with a cipher mode of aes-128-wrap-pad, aes-192-wrap-pad, or aes-256-wrap-pad, and that the attacker can supply or influence the plaintext argument to that call. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 5.6 Medium score is derived from the vector AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker targets a PHP web application that accepts user-supplied cryptographic material - for example, a key-management API endpoint that wraps submitted key bytes using openssl_encrypt() with an aes-256-wrap-pad cipher. By submitting a crafted plaintext payload, the attacker causes the PHP OpenSSL extension to allocate an undersized heap buffer and trigger an overflow when OpenSSL writes the RFC 5649-padded output, corrupting heap metadata and aborting the PHP-FPM worker process, resulting in a denial of service for concurrent requests handled by that worker.
Remediation Upgrade PHP to the patched releases: 8.2.32, 8.3.32, 8.4.23, or 8.5.8, as applicable to the installed branch, per the vendor advisory at https://github.com/php/php-src/security/advisories/GHSA-7jrw-539f-x6vr. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
