CVE-2026-124622: A vulnerability was identified in olivier-ls PHP-FTS up to 1.1.3.

A vulnerability was identified in olivier-ls PHP-FTS up to 1.1.3.

A vulnerability was identified in olivier-ls PHP-FTS up to 1.1.3. This impacts the function TrigramIndex::open of the file Storage.php. Such manipulation leads to time-of-check time-of-use. The attack needs to be performed locally. Upgrading to version 1.1.4 will fix this issue. The name of the patch is 0b2fae333d6b022da7ed4c43e2d41aa03f91dff3. Upgrading the affected component is recommended. The project maintainer explains: "[T]he attack requires write access to the index directory by a user other than the one running the application. That is a real shared-hosting scenario and worth defending against, which is why it is fixed but it is a hardening measure rather than a remotely reachable vulnerability, and the "Code Execution" impact additionally assumes the symlink target is a web-served .php file."

What it means for a small business

If your business uses PHP-FTS, install the vendor's update. If you're not sure whether you use it, ask whoever manages your computers.

How likely is an attack? The Exploit Prediction Scoring System, run by FIRST (the global association of security response teams), puts the odds of this one being exploited in the next 30 days at under 0.1%, higher than 0% of CVEs. That’s low, but low isn’t zero, and the odds jump the day someone publishes an exploit. Scored November 10, 2026, updated daily.
