Phpstudy · Phpstudy · CVE-2025-34061
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
PHPStudy versions 2016 through 2018
Description:
A backdoor in PHPStudy allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code on affected installations. The backdoor listens for base64-encoded PHP payloads in the `Accept-Charset` HTTP header of incoming requests, decodes and executes the payload without proper validation. This leads to remote code execution as the web server user, compromising the affected system.
Recommendations:
For PHPStudy versions 2016 through 2018, consider disabling the acceptance of base64-encoded PHP payloads in the `Accept-Charset` HTTP header as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to the web server to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
