PHP VulnerabilityShell Bot MalwareDDOS Botnet

CVE-2024-4577 (CVSS score: 9.8) is a critical vulnerability that allows remote execution of malicious commands on Windows systems, particularly those using Chinese and Japanese language locales. Publicly disclosed in early June 2024, this flaw enables attackers to escape the command line and pass arguments directly to PHP. According to Akamai researchers, the issue lies in converting Unicode characters to ASCII, affecting PHP installations running in CGI mode.
