CVE-2026-85733 Details
Description
FrankenPHP is a modern application server for PHP. Prior to 1.12.5, the official FrankenPHP Debian and Alpine Docker images include a default /app/public/index.php that executes phpinfo(). A derived image that does not overwrite this placeholder serves the diagnostics page in production and can disclose environment variables used for secrets, PHP configuration directives, loaded extensions, software versions, and system paths. Images built using the documented pattern with their own /app/public/index.php are not affected, and already derived images must be rebuilt or supplied with an application index to remove the exposed placeholder. This issue is fixed in version 1.12.5.
A vulnerability exists in the official FrankenPHP Docker images for Debian and Alpine, prior to version 1.12.5. These images include a default '/app/public/index.php' file that executes 'phpinfo()'. If a derived image does not overwrite this default, it will serve the 'phpinfo()' output in production, disclosing sensitive information such as environment variables, PHP configuration directives, loaded extensions, software versions, and system paths. This issue does not affect images built with a custom 'index.php' that replaces the default placeholder. The vulnerability is present in any image derived from the base FrankenPHP image that is deployed without a custom 'index.php' in the public directory.
Users can upgrade to FrankenPHP version 1.12.5 or later, where this issue is fixed. For images already built on a vulnerable base, it is necessary to rebuild the image or manually add a custom 'public/index.php' to remove the default 'phpinfo()' placeholder.
