CVE-2016-5385

HIGHCVSS 8.1/10EPSS 50.43%

Last modified

CVE-2016-5385 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.1/10 on the CVSS scale. PHP through 7.0.8 does not attempt to address RFC 3875 section 4.1.18 namespace conflicts and therefore does not protect applications from the presence of untrusted client data in the HTTP_PROXY environment variable, which might allow remote attackers to redirect an application's outbound HTTP traffic to an arbitrary proxy server via a crafted Proxy header in an HTTP request, as demonstrated by (1) an application that makes a getenv('HTTP_PROXY') call or (2) a CGI configuration of PHP, aka an "httpoxy" issue.. EPSS estimates a 50.43% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
