Important ZendPHP Security Updates

Zend is committed to keeping your mission-critical PHP applications secure and safeguarded against the latest security threats and CVEs. To that end, we have fixed the following CVEs, all of which were disclosed in late 2025, in ZendPHP.

For more information or further mitigation details, please visit the Zend Security Center or contact our team today.

Zend Security Center Talk to a PHP Security Expert

CVE-2025-14177

All impacted ZendPHP versions have been fixed to guard against CVE-2025-14177.

CVE-2025-14177 is a moderate severity information disclosure CVE that impacts PHP 7.1 through PHP 8.5. With this CVE, the getimagesize() function may leak uninitialized heap memory when processing images in multi-chunk mode, such as through php://filter.

This vulnerability, caused by a bug in php_read_stream_all_chunks() that overwrites the buffer without advancing the pointer, allows an attacker to potentially disclose sensitive information from the server's memory. This could compromise the confidentiality of data on the affected server.

View CVE-2025-14177 Mitigation Details

CVE-2025-14178

All impacted ZendPHP versions have been fixed to guard against CVE-2025-14178.

CVE-2025-14178 is a moderate severity denial of service CVE that impacts PHP 7.1 through PHP 8.5. With this CVE, a heap buffer overflow occurs in array_merge() when the total element count of packed arrays exceeds 32-bit limits or HT_MAX_SIZE, due to an integer overflow in the precomputation of element counts using zend_hash_num_elements().

This may lead to memory corruption or crashes and affect the integrity and availability of the target server.

View CVE-2025-14178 Mitigation Details

CVE-2025-14180

All impacted ZendPHP community versions have been fixed to guard against CVE-2025-14180. ZendPHP LTS versions were not impacted by this CVE.

CVE-2025-14180 is a high severity information disclosure CVE that impacts PHP 8.1 through PHP 8.5. With this CVE, when the PDO (PHP Data Objects) PostgreSQL driver is configured with PDO::ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES enabled, a remote attacker can exploit a vulnerability by providing an invalid character sequence within a prepared statement parameter.

This can cause a null pointer dereference, leading to a server crash. The primary impact is a Denial of Service (DoS), affecting the availability of the target server.

ZendHQ Microsoft OIDC Support Now Available

The Zend product team is excited to announce the immediate availability of Microsoft OpenID Connect (OIDC) with ZendHQ GUI 1.7.0. This release adds support for OIDC workflows, specifically authorization via Microsoft OIDC SSO.

Login will first contact the ZendHQ server to determine authentication/authorization capabilities, and then presents authentication options (traditional credentials or SSO links). Additionally, this release updates the bundled NodeJS and various application library components.

About the New Feature

ZendHQ now allows you to configure Microsoft OpenID Connect (OIDC) endpoints for use in authenticating and authorizing users. This allows for the use of existing user and group directories in your organization instead of requiring a separate authentication and authorization system.

When connecting to ZendHQ using the ZendHQ GUI, you will now indicate the connection string to the ZendHQ server first without any authentication details. The GUI will then query the ZendHQ server to locate Microsoft OIDC. Companies can grant access to ZendHQ by returning granted roles and permissions in the authorization claims for a successful login.

In addition, ZendHQ Microsoft OIDC support gives teams the following benefits:

Optional fallback to local ZendHQ users
Derived permissions are a combination of all role claims returned
Documentation for provisioning a Microsoft Entra tenant for use as an OIDC endpoint with ZendHQ

Introducing zpk2ansible Rollback Features

In 2024, Zend released zpk2ansible, which allows users to take Zend Server deployment packages (ZPKs) and convert them to Ansible playbooks for provisioning and deploying ZendPHP. Today, the Zend product team is excited to announce the availability of deployment rollback support for our zpk2ansible tooling.

About the New Feature

Previously, rolling back required cleaning out the existing deployment and re-deploying a previous version. With zpk2ansible 2.0, new installations are deployed in versioned directories, along with a symlink to the currently deployed version. Rollback to any previously deployed version is now a quick operation.

Note for Existing zpk2ansible Users: If you have been using zpk2ansible already, you will need to re-deploy your application using version 2.0 to ensure that your application deploys to a versioned directory. Once you have done so, you will be able to make use of the rollback feature in the future.

In this video tutorial, Zend Principal Product Manager Matthew Weier O’Phinney walks through how to migrate from Zend Server to ZendPHP using zpk2ansible tooling. Follow along to make your migration as smooth as possible.

ZendPHP for Windows is the first commercial distribution of PHP. With this release, we provide up-to-date binaries of current community-supported PHP versions (currently 7.4, 8.0, and 8.1).

Additionally, we provide the first long term support (LTS) distribution of PHP for Windows. This includes LTS editions of PHP 7.1, 7.2, and 7.3, per our already published LTS roadmap.

More than 70 PECL extensions are included – both out-of-the-box, as well as shipped as separate packages. These integrate with PHP in the same way as community binaries.
