🔬 Technical Analysis

#

Summary The splitPos() function in [cgi.go](https://github.com/php/frankenphp/blob/main/cgi.go) misuses golang.org/x/text/search with search.IgnoreCase when the request path contains a non-ASCII byte. Two distinct flaws in that fallback let an attacker mislead FrankenPHP into treating a non-.php file as a .php script. In any deployment where the attacker can place content into a file served by FrankenPHP (uploads, file storage, etc.), this can be escalated to remote code execution by crafting a URL whose path triggers either flaw. This advisory consolidates two independent reports against the same function (the duplicate, GHSA-v4h7-cj44-8fc8, has been closed). Both were reported by @KC1zs4.

Details ```go

var splitSearchNonASCII = search.New(language.Und, search.IgnoreCa
