# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2024-56145 Advisory: Craft CMS has potential RCE when PHP `register_argc_argv` config setting is enabled IDs: CVE-2024-56145, GHSA-2p6p-9rc9-62j9 Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2024-56145 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 14:34 UTC) Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected. Severity: Critical (CVSS 9.3) Exploitation: confirmed: listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: craftcms/cms 5.5.2, 4.13.2, 3.9.14. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed. ## Affected components - Packagist craftcms/cms: affected >= 5.0.0-RC1, < 5.5.2; >= 4.0.0-RC1, < 4.13.2; >= 3.0.0, < 3.9.14; fixed in 4.13.2, 3.9.14, 5.5.2 ## Suggested inspection (read-only) - Packagist craftcms/cms: 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 craftcms/cms. - 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? - Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production. ## Sources - Verified: https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog (CISA added CVE-2024-56145 to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 2025-06-02.) - Verified: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-2p6p-9rc9-62j9 (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-2p6p-9rc9-62j9 lists affected ranges: Packagist craftcms/cms >=5.0.0-RC1 =4.0.0-RC1 =3.0.0 <3.9.14) Commands are suggestions: review each one before running it.
