The version of PHP installed on the remote host is prior to 8.3.12. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the Version 8.3.12 advisory.

  • In PHP versions 8.1.* before 8.1.29, 8.2.* before 8.2.20, 8.3.* before 8.3.8, when using Apache and PHP- CGI on Windows, if the system is set up to use certain code pages, Windows may use Best-Fit behavior to replace characters in command line given to Win32 API functions. PHP CGI module may misinterpret those characters as PHP options, which may allow a malicious user to pass options to PHP binary being run, and thus reveal the source code of scripts, run arbitrary PHP code on the server, etc. (CVE-2024-4577)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
