README excerpt
# PHP Version Checker Get a version-based PHP2Shell warning from a website's PHP headers or local installation. To install both skills, ask Codex: [code] Use phpcheck-server when you have server access, or phpcheck-url when you only have a URL: [code] [code] ## Run directly Check a website: [code] ## Results | Result | Exit code | Meaning | | --- | --- | --- | | `OK` | `0` | Advertised version meets an upstream fixed release. | | `POTENTIALLY VULNERABLE` | `1` | Advertised version is in an affected range. | | `UNKNOWN` | `3` | Missing or unrecognized version, prerelease, or failed check. | Use `--json` for machine-readable output. `patch_status` is `ok`, `potentially_vulnerable` or `unknown`. Invalid arguments exit with code `2`. Versions below a listed upstream fix return `potentially_vulnerable` and exit `1`. PHP 5.4–5.6, 7.0–7.4, 8.0 and 8.1 also return this warning, even with a higher patch number such as 8.1.35. ## URL checks URL mode reads `X-Powered-By` and `Server`, sends `HEAD`, and falls back to `GET` only when `HEAD` returns 405 or 501. It does not follow redirects or inspect response bodies. Missing or hidden PHP headers return `UNKNOWN`. The upstream fixed releases are 8.2.35, 8.3.36, 8.4.27 and 8.5.12, from the October 21 PHP advisory. HTTP headers cannot tell whether the version contains a backported fix. Even `OK` only describes the advertised version - it doesn't verify the installation! The checker does not send exploit probes. ## Contributing OpenAI is not accepting external code contributions to this project. Bug reports and non-code feedback are welcome through GitHub issues.
