CVE-2019-9637

22
FAUCET Score

CVE-2019-9637 is a high-severity vulnerability affecting PHP versions prior to 7.1.27, 7.2.16, and 7.3.3, as well as various distributions like Debian and openSUSE. It stems from an improper implementation of the rename() function across filesystems, which can briefly expose files with incorrect permissions during the rename operation. This allows unauthorized users to access sensitive data, leading to a high impact on confidentiality. Despite its high CVSS score of 7.5, there is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage.
