According to its banner, the version of PHP running on the remote web server is 7.3.x prior to 7.3.17. It is, therefore, affected by an out-of-bounds read error in its url decoding component due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by sending specially crafted requests, to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition or execution of arbitrary code.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
