phpseclib guardrails needed on OID length
CVE-2024-27355GHSA-f2qx-66wf-wvvx
What to do
Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (phpseclib/phpseclib 3.0.36, 2.0.47, 1.0.23), redeploy, then verify what is actually installed.
This page has no inventory attached, so it cannot say whether you are affected. A vendor fix is not proof that your deployment is fixed.

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2024-27355 Advisory: phpseclib guardrails needed on OID length IDs: CVE-2024-27355, GHSA-f2qx-66wf-wvvx Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2024-27355 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 14:40 UTC) Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected. Severity: High (CVSS 7.5) Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV. Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: phpseclib/phpseclib 3.0.36, 2.0.47, 1.0.23. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed. ## Affected components - Packagist phpseclib/phpseclib: affected >= 2.0.0, <= 2.0.46; >= 3.0.0, <= 3.0.35; >= 0.1.1, <= 1.0.22; fixed in 2.0.47, 1.0.23, 3.0.36 ## Suggested inspection (read-only) - Packagist phpseclib/phpseclib: check the installed version with your package manager. ## Supported action Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version. ## Required regression checks - Run the test suite and a production build. - Exercise the features that depend on phpseclib/phpseclib. - Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed. ## Rollback considerations - Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward. ## Unresolved questions - Which deployments run an affected version? - Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority. - Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production. ## Sources - Verified: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-f2qx-66wf-wvvx (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-f2qx-66wf-wvvx lists affected ranges: Packagist phpseclib/phpseclib >=2.0.0 =3.0.0 =0.1.1 <=1.0.22) Commands are suggestions: review each one before running it.
