CVE-2024-4577PHP-CGI on Windows — Injection via Character Conversion

On Windows a character-conversion quirk lets a request slip command-line switches past the guard added for an older flaw, so the scripting language (PHP) runs attacker code again.

YOUR NEXT MOVE

Upgrade to 8.1.29, 8.2.20 or 8.3.8, and stop serving the interpreter as a gateway script on Windows.
