Cross-request session disclosure via incomplete superglobal reset
Published Feb 12, 2026 · Updated Feb 12, 2026
Session data exposure in FrankenPHP before 1.11.2 allows remote attackers to read another user's session data through worker reuse. The frankenphp_reset_super_globals function leaves $_SESSION in the Zend Engine symbol table after request shutdown, so the next request on that worker inherits its contents. Exposure requires worker mode and application code that reads $_SESSION before session_start(); leaked data can include user identifiers, personal data, or authentication tokens.
