CVE-2019-11045 is a vulnerability in PHP versions 7.2.x prior to 7.2.26, 7.3.x prior to 7.3.13, and 7.4.0, where the DirectoryIterator class incorrectly handles filenames containing null bytes, treating them as string terminators. This can lead to security bypasses in applications that validate file paths.

There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code, or significant community discussion, despite a high FAUCET Risk Score.
