"According to its banner, the version of PHP running on the remote web server is 7.3.x prior to 7.3.10. It is, 
therefore, affected by a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability in its mb_eregi component due to insufficient 
validation of user input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by sending a specially crafted request,
to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code");
