CVE-2026-17543

EPSS 0.4%
hype MIXED · 42 hack

Active vendor patching but no KEV, no PoC, no exploitation reports; early-stage disclosure.

What: Improper backslash escaping in PHP 8.2–8.5 allows SQL injection in PostgreSQL queries via ext-pgsql. No CVSS/EPSS assigned yet.

Why it matters: PHP maintainers patched actively (8.2.33, 8.3.33, 8.4.24, 8.5.9 released); backports rolled to 7.4 and 8.0–8.1 within hours. Vuln is trivial to trigger but KEV not yet listed. No public PoC or in-the-wild reports in chatter; signal is vendor advisory + coordinated patching across versions.

Where it's seen: Security news aggregators amplifying patch notices; package maintainers (Remi repos) backporting fixes across unsupported PHP versions same day. No defender questions or exploitation claims yet.

RISK: HIGH — Trivial SQL injection in widely-deployed language; urgent patching across multiple versions signals severity.
