## What is CVE-2023-3247?

CVE-2023-3247 is a low-severity vulnerability in Php Php, published on 22 Jul 2023. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.

### Official description

In PHP versions 8.0.* before 8.0.29, 8.1.* before 8.1.20, 8.2.* before 8.2.7 when using SOAP HTTP Digest Authentication, random value generator was not checked for failure, and was using narrower range of values than it should have. In case of random generator failure, it could lead to a disclosure of 31 bits of uninitialized memory from the client to the server, and it also made easier to a malicious server to guess the client's nonce.

Weakness: CWE-330 (Use of Insufficiently Random Values), CWE-252 (Unchecked Return Value)

What it is: CVE-2023-3247 is a low-severity vulnerability in Php Php, published on 22 Jul 2023. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-3247 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected packages and fixed versions:
- libphp (Bitnami): affected from 8.0.0; fixed in 8.0.29, 8.1.20, 8.2.7
- php (Bitnami): affected from 8.0.0; fixed in 8.0.29, 8.1.20, 8.2.7

Task:
1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.
2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
