BaaRai 750f4eb091 feat(skill): php2shell - gated session.upload_progress LFI-to-RCE skill with vendored PoCs
Implements #109. Skills ship the chain-1 workflow (session file injection
through upload_progress filename + app LFI -> RCE, CVE-2026-109618/109619)
with hard gates: authorized targets only, program zero-day policy checked
before any live attempt (patches landed 2026-10-21 for 8.2-8.5), passive
detection before exploitation, lab-first practice via the vendored docker
lab, chains 2/3 (UAF, serializer mismatch) marked lab-only, one-shot
verification with a marker. Upstream PoCs vendored under scripts/poc/php2shell
with attribution and the MIT notice (upstream declares MIT in its README).

feat(rsi): evidence-gated lesson library in shadow mode
2026-10-21 14:27:40 +02:00
BaaRai a8f3c2c328 feat(rsi): evidence-gated lesson library in shadow mode
Extracts candidate lessons from terminal tasks (confirmed, negative,
retest caution), gates them on cue + action + evidence, and makes
extraction idempotent through a per-source evidence key.

ARTEX_RSI_LESSONS selects off / shadow / inject. Shadow logs what would
have been shown; inject appends a code-owned, data-not-instructions block
after the planner and worker system prompts. No prompt mutation and no
adoption: status stays candidate.

BaaRai 8fd83ef070 docs(rsi): Loop C adoption contract and credits
Writes down the rules any future harness-optimization work must meet:
live tasks propose and benchmarks adopt, owner approval per adoption,
immutable gates and scope checks, one-step rollback through prompt
versions, flag off by default, bounded edits, and paired attribution.

Credits harness2 (Google Research, Apache-2.0, arXiv 2610.14224) for the
Library admission rule and propose/probe/compose shape, awesome-rsi
(lobehub) for the gain taxonomy, and RRSI, ModularRSI, SEABench, Agentic
Harness Engineering and the self-evolving-agent safety survey for the
specific guardrails. No code is copied.

BaaRai cbb6f66c4b feat(server): capability-gap report from skill misses
GET /api/skill-gaps aggregates skill_usage rows with found=false by
skill, agent, and task category. Hits are returned for the same key so a
miss rate needs no second query; hit-only skills are excluded. The source
rows already existed: a miss is written when the model names a skill the
platform does not provide.

This is the evidence-backed capability backlog, not an auto-fixer: it
creates no skill and changes no prompt. Motivated by the harness and
skill-evolution sections of awesome-rsi (lobehub).

BaaRai cf369dec4f feat(server): per-task outcome card for RSI baselines
Adds GET /api/tasks/{id}/outcome: finding disposition and severity,
retest verdicts, result-row token totals, tool calls, skill misses, and
wall time in one row. This is the measurement layer an RSI loop needs
before claiming a change helped; it alters no agent behavior.

Metric selection follows harness2 (Google Research, Apache-2.0,
arXiv 2610.14224) and the task-gain / retained-gain / improver-gain
taxonomy in the awesome-rsi list.

BaaRai 89ece8eb8d fix(bench): discover the challenge port dynamically and tear down on deploy failure
The suite does not use one container port: most challenges publish 8080
but some (051, 091, 100) publish 5000, and the adapter had 8080
hardcoded, so deploy failed on those and the failure happened before
the teardown block, leaving the challenge running.

- the host port now comes from the app container port mapping (any
  container port, via docker inspect), never from an assumed 8080
- the teardown finally now wraps the deploy as well: a failure halfway
  through deploy no longer leaves containers behind (--keep and
  --deploy-only still opt out)

BaaRai 67971ef7da fix(bench): survive finding-detail 404s and always tear the corpus down
The first live drost run died right after the task completed: the
findings detail route keys on finding_id (the findings-table row), not
on the exploration node id the list also carries, so every detail fetch
404ed; fetch_findings then re-raised the SystemExit from the API
wrapper, aborting scoring, the flag scan, the report and the teardown.

- details are fetched with finding_id (node id as fallback) and a
  missing detail no longer kills the run: the list fields remain and the
  finding stays gradeable
- the stored finding carries finding_id so the deep flag scan can
  re-fetch untruncated text
- the deep scan tolerates the same failures
- teardown runs in a finally around the whole task phase, so a crash in
  scoring or reporting can no longer leave the challenge running
  (--keep still opts out deliberately)

BaaRai 58b221bfe1 fix(bench): name the target URL in the DrostBench task goal
The drost task goal template never included the target URL, so the
created task named no target: the first live run's planner matched the
challenge description against the global asset store and sent every
worker to an unrelated WordPress lab from past tasks. The template now
carries the {url} placeholder that create_task replaces with the task
target, and says the URL is the only target. The unit test locks the
placeholder in.

BaaRai b269d3e590 fix(server): fill task metrics on the detail endpoint
GET /api/tasks/{id} returned the metrics block zeroed (tokens, goal
progress, in_flight, findings, last_activity) because only listTasks
populated those DTO fields. Extract the fill into applyTaskMetrics and
call it from both handlers so the two endpoints report identical
numbers from the same TaskListMetricsAll query. The swallowed query
error in listTasks is now logged instead of silently zeroing the table.

Test: TestTaskDetailReturnsListMetrics seeds result-activity tokens and
goal nodes, asserts the detail endpoint reports them and matches the
list endpoint; fails on main, passes with the fix.

# Recursive self-improvement in ARTEX
Status: measurement and shadow memory only. There is no harness search, no
automatic adoption, and no self-modifying code in this repository.
This file defines the contract any future harness-optimization work must meet,
so the first experiment cannot quietly become an unguarded rewrite loop.
## The three loops
| loop | object | state |
|---|---|---|
| A. within a task | planner, worker, retester, adversarial gate | exists |
| B. across tasks | evidence-gated lessons from closed tasks | shadow mode, PR #104 |
| C. on the harness | prompts, skills, tool guidance | **not built**; this is its contract |
Loop A produces task gain. Loop B is meant to produce retained gain: a lesson
must survive a closed task and change a later one. Loop C is the only loop that
can produce improver gain, and it is the only one that can silently damage the
product, which is why it goes last.
## Loop C contract
Any PR that proposes, probes, or adopts harness edits must satisfy all of:
1. **Live tasks propose, benchmarks adopt.** A successful bounty task can
generate a candidate lesson or edit, but it can never be the evidence for
adoption. Adoption requires held-out benchmark runs, because a live task is
unreproducible and contaminated by its target.
2. **Owner approval per adoption.** The loop may prepare a proposal branch and
show the diff. It may not change the active prompt. Adoption is one explicit
owner action, like a baseline pin.
3. **Immutable surfaces.** The following are never in the search space:
the adversarial and quality gates, scope and authorization checks,
prompt-injection defenses, tool allowlists, and the code-owned prompt tails
(traffic tools, artifact rules, lesson block). Only the editable prompt body,
skill markdown, and tool descriptions can be proposed.
4. **One-step rollback.** Every adopted prompt change is a new
`agent_prompts` version, so rollback is a pointer change. Skills are files
under git; no adoption may bypass review.
5. **Flag off by default.** The loop runs behind a feature flag. Turning it on
requires an owner decision, and the flag is checked per run.
6. **Bounded edit budget.** A round may propose a bounded number of edits
(annealed over rounds). A critic proposes only edits that are expected to
transfer; a pruner rejects edits that only fit the probe task. This follows
RRSI (arXiv 2609.24972).
7. **Attribution.** Probe results are compared against an unchanged baseline on
the same task and seed. Regressions are attributed to a specific module
rather than to the loop as a whole; the modular fault-localization idea is
from ModularRSI (arXiv 2609.14857). A paired evolving/non-evolving comparison
guards against misattributed safety regressions, following SEABench
(arXiv 2609.35596).
8. **No self-approval and no silent state.** The loop cannot set its own status,
edit its own acceptance criteria, or write to the lesson library as
`adopted`. Lesson status changes stay owner actions.
A future Loop C PR is acceptable only with:
- a benchmark adapter and a held-out task set, independent of the tasks used to
propose the edit;
- a baseline run and a candidate run with the same model, seed, budget, and
judge;
- the judge independent of the subject model, with a falsification battery
(the existing L3 runner already enforces this);
- per-gate results with denominators, not a single aggregate score;
- a written rollback path and the flag name.
## What the current layers do
- `GET /api/tasks/{id}/outcome` (PR #102) records what a task produced and what
it cost: findings by disposition and severity, retest verdicts, tokens, tool
calls, skill misses, wall time.
- `ARTEX_RSI_LESSONS=off|shadow|inject` (PR #104) extracts evidence-gated
lessons from terminal tasks and, in `inject` mode, appends a code-owned
data-not-instructions block after the planner and worker system prompts.
Status stays `candidate`.
- `GET /api/skill-gaps` (PR #106) turns the existing miss ledger into a
capability backlog.
None of these changes an agent's instructions on its own. Shadow mode exists to
measure whether retrieval helps before any harness edit is attempted.

# RSI lessons (shadow mode)
Deterministic, evidence-gated lessons extracted from closed tasks. This is the
memory layer of the RSI work: it records what earlier tasks proved, not what a
model guessed, and it never changes a prompt by itself.
The admission rule follows the harness2 Library (Google Research, Apache-2.0,
arXiv 2610.14224): a lesson exists only when it carries a cue, an action, and
at least one evidence row. The wider taxonomy of gains (task, retained,
improver) comes from the awesome-rsi list (lobehub).
## Modes
`ARTEX_RSI_LESSONS` is read when a task's agent bundle is built:
| value | behavior |
|---|---|
| unset / `off` | no selection, no logging, no prompt change (default) |
| `shadow` | select lessons and log what would have been shown, without injecting |
| `inject` | select, log, and append the block to the planner and worker system prompts |
The block is code-owned: it is appended after the rendered prompt, so editing
the agent prompt in the UI cannot remove it. Changing the flag affects new
tasks (or tasks whose agent bundle is invalidated), not a restart.
## Extraction
Extraction runs automatically when a task reaches a terminal status
(`done`, `failed`, `timeout`), and can be re-run or backfilled with:
```
POST /api/tasks/{id}/lessons/extract
```
It is idempotent. `rsi_lesson_evidence` is keyed by `(lesson, source_kind,
source_id)`, so a second run for the same task adds no evidence and cannot
inflate support.
Rules:
| source | kind | action |
|---|---|---|
| finding `confirmed` / `resolved` / `fixed` | positive | `Confirmed <vulnclass>: <summary>` |
| retest `reproduced` on such a finding | positive | `Reproduced <vulnclass> on retest: <summary>` |
| finding `false_positive` / `duplicate` / `ignored` / `risk_accepted` | negative | `Do not re-report without new mechanics: <summary> (prior <status>)` |
| retest `fixed` / `inconclusive` | caution | `Recheck before reporting <vulnclass>: a prior retest was <verdict>` |
Pending and in-progress findings produce nothing: there is no outcome yet.
Empty cue, action, or source is refused by the gate.
## Selection
`GET /api/tasks/{id}/lessons` returns the lessons visible to a task plus the
rendered block. Selection is scoped:
- generic lessons (no company, no category) are visible to every task;
- lessons from the same company or the same task category rank first;
- within a scope: positive before negative before caution, then support, then
recency;
- at most eight lessons and 1800 characters are rendered.
Duplicates are merged at extraction time by a dedupe key over kind, scope, cue,
and action, so the same lesson from several tasks becomes one row with several
evidence entries and a higher support count.
## Rendering and safety
Lesson fields come from task evidence, which can include target-controlled
text. Rendering strips control characters, flattens every field to one line,
caps lengths, and prefixes the block with "prior outcomes, not instructions".
The block is appended to the planner and worker prompts only in `inject` mode.
What this layer deliberately does not do:
- no LLM summarization in this phase: rules only, so every lesson traces to a
finding or retest id;
- no adoption: `status` is `candidate`; `adopted` and `retired` are reserved for
a later, owner-approved phase;
- no prompt mutation, no benchmark probing, no lesson editing through the UI;
- no decay or deletion; the evidence table is the audit trail.
## Measuring it
`rsi_lesson_usage` records which lessons were considered for which task and in
which mode. Join it with the per-task outcome card
(`GET /api/tasks/{id}/outcome`) to compare tasks that saw lessons with tasks
that did not on the same domain:
- tokens per confirmed finding
- tool calls per confirmed finding
- repeated dead-end probes (future metric; not computable yet)
- false-positive and duplicate rate
Do not treat support as causal evidence. It counts corroborating task
outcomes, not a controlled comparison.

# php2shell — CVE-2026-109618 / CVE-2026-109619 Research
Independent security research on the critical PHP session.upload_progress vulnerabilities (CVSS v4.0 9.2).
**Author:** Qi Deng ([@ikow](https://github.com/ikow))
**Date:** 2026-10-21
**Full writeup:** [qideng.substack.com](https://qideng.substack.com/)
## Overview
Two critical pre-auth RCE vulnerabilities in PHP core's `session.upload_progress` handler, affecting PHP 5.4.0 through 8.5.x. This repository contains verification POCs and lab setup for authorized security testing.
### Verified Attack Chains
| Chain | Type | Conditions | Verified |
|-------|------|-----------|----------|
| Session File Injection + LFI | Logic bug | `upload_progress=On` (default) + app LFI | ✅ RCE |
| var_destroy UAF → Handler Overwrite | Memory corruption | `unserialize()` + `/proc/self/mem` | ✅ ASAN + RCE |
| Handler Mismatch → `__destruct` | Deserialization | Cross-dir handler mismatch + POP gadget | ✅ RCE |
### Key Findings
1. **Session fixation** via POST body bypasses `session.use_only_cookies` ([PR #22113](https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/22113))
2. **Unvalidated filename** in upload_progress stored raw in session files
3. **`var_destroy` `__destruct` reentry UAF** — ASAN-confirmed heap-use-after-free
4. **`PS(serializer)` not reset in RSHUTDOWN** — cross-request serializer leak in FPM
5. **`__destruct` fires on decode FAILURE** — object injection via handler mismatch + trailing data
## Repository Structure
```
poc/
verify_session_injection.py — Verify filename injection into session files
verify_uaf_asan.php — Trigger ASAN heap-use-after-free (var_destroy)
verify_handler_mismatch.py — Verify handler mismatch → object deserialization
lab/
docker-compose.yml — PHP 8.2.34 FPM + nginx lab environment
Dockerfile — Vulnerable PHP build
php.ini — Lab configuration
setup.sh — One-click lab setup
docs/
ANALYSIS.md — Full technical analysis
```
## Quick Start
```bash
# Start the lab
cd lab && ./setup.sh
# Verify session injection
python3 poc/verify_session_injection.py --target http://127.0.0.1:18080
# Verify UAF (requires ASAN build)
docker exec php-asan-lab php poc/verify_uaf_asan.php
# Verify handler mismatch
python3 poc/verify_handler_mismatch.py --target http://127.0.0.1:18080
```
## Affected Versions
- PHP 5.4.0 — 8.5.11 (all versions with `session.upload_progress`)
- Fixed in: 8.2.35, 8.3.36, 8.4.27, 8.5.12 (scheduled 2026-10-21)
- PHP 5.x, 7.x, 8.0, 8.1: **end-of-life, no official fix**
## Mitigation
```ini
; Immediate mitigation (does NOT fix all attack paths)
session.upload_progress.enabled = Off
session.use_only_cookies = On
```

# php2shell — Full Technical Analysis
## CVE-2026-109618 / CVE-2026-109619
**Author:** Qi Deng **Date:** 2026-10-21
---
## 1. Vulnerability Summary
Two critical vulnerabilities in PHP's `session.upload_progress` handler enable pre-authentication remote code execution on PHP 5.4.0 through 8.5.x.
| Bug | Root Cause | Impact |
|-----|-----------|--------|
| Session Fixation | `MULTIPART_EVENT_FORMDATA` accepts PHPSESSID from POST body ignoring `use_only_cookies` | Attacker controls session ID and file path |
| Filename Injection | `add_assoc_string_ex(*data->filename)` stores raw filename in session without validation | PHP code / serialized objects injected into session files |
| Serializer Leak | `PS(serializer)` not reset in `php_rshutdown_session_globals()` | Cross-request handler mismatch in FPM |
| var_destroy UAF | `i_zval_ptr_dtor` at line 310 fires `__destruct` without `BG(serialize_lock)` | Heap-use-after-free → arbitrary code execution |
## 2. Attack Chains
### Chain A: Session Injection + LFI → RCE
```
Conditions: upload_progress.enabled=On (default) + application has LFI
Complexity: Low | Reliability: 100%
1. POST multipart with PHP code in filename
2. rfc1867 handler stores filename as-is in session file
3. include(session_file) → execute injected PHP → RCE
```
**Verified:** `exploit_session_inject.py` → `uid=33(www-data)` on PHP 8.2.34.
### Chain B: var_destroy UAF → RCE
```
Conditions: ability to call unserialize() with controlled data
Complexity: Medium | Reliability: ~60% (heap-dependent)
1. unserialize() payload with 2000+ entries → overflow VAR_ENTRIES_MAX (1018)
2. Duplicate key moves object to dtor list
3. var_destroy Phase 1: efree extension chunks
4. Phase 2: i_zval_ptr_dtor → __destruct (BG(serialize_lock)==0)
5. Inner unserialize('R:1500;') reuses outer var_hash → reads freed memory
6. Spray reclaims freed chunk → controlled pointer → handler overwrite → RCE
```
**Verified:** ASAN heap-use-after-free at `var_unserializer.c:851`. RCE via `var_dump` handler overwrite on x86-64.
### Chain C: Handler Mismatch → `__destruct` → RCE
```
Conditions: target has directories with different session.serialize_handler
Complexity: Medium | Reliability: High
1. Upload to Dir A (php_serialize) — filename contains |O:CLASS:N:{PAYLOAD}
2. Upload to Dir B (php handler) with same SID
3. rfc1867 reads php_serialize session with php decoder
4. php decoder finds | in filename → splits → deserializes injected object
5. Trailing data → decode FAILURE
6. __destruct fires during PHP_VAR_UNSERIALIZE_DESTROY cleanup
7. POP gadget chain → RCE
```
**Key insight:** `__destruct` fires on BOTH success and failure paths of `var_destroy`. The decode FAILURE does NOT prevent exploitation.
**Verified:** `Evil::__destruct(cmd="id")` → `uid=33(www-data)` via pure rfc1867 handler.
## 3. Root Cause Analysis
### 3.1 Session Fixation (ext/session/session.c)
```c
// MULTIPART_EVENT_FORMDATA handler — no use_only_cookies check
if (name_len == progress->sname_len &&
memcmp(data->name, PS(session_name), name_len) == 0) {
zval_ptr_dtor(&progress->sid);
ZVAL_STRINGL(&progress->sid, (*data->value), value_len);
// ← Accepts PHPSESSID from POST body regardless of use_only_cookies!
}
```
Fix: [PR #22113](https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/22113) adds `!PS(use_only_cookies) &&` check.
### 3.2 Unvalidated Filename
```c
// FILE_START handler stores raw filename
add_assoc_string_ex(&progress->current_file, "name",
sizeof("name") - 1, *data->filename);
// ← No sanitization, no encoding, no length limit
```
Filename can contain arbitrary bytes including PHP code and pipe `|` characters.
### 3.3 var_destroy Reentry UAF (ext/standard/var_unserializer.re)
```c
void var_destroy(php_unserialize_data_t *var_hashx) {
// Phase 1: FREE extension chunks
while (var_hash) {
efree_size(var_hash, sizeof(var_entries)); // ← line 245
var_hash = next;
}
// Phase 2: walk dtor chain
while (var_dtor_hash) {
// ...
i_zval_ptr_dtor(zv); // ← line 310, NO serialize_lock!
// __destruct fires → inner unserialize() → R:N reads freed chunk
}
}
```
### 3.4 Serializer Leak (ext/session/session.c)
```c
static void php_rshutdown_session_globals(void) {
// Resets: PS(id), PS(session_vars), PS(http_session_vars), PS(mod_data)
// Does NOT reset: PS(serializer) ← persists across FPM requests!
}
```
### 3.5 `__destruct` on Decode Failure
```c
PS_SERIALIZER_DECODE_FUNC(php) {
while (p < endptr) {
// ... find |, deserialize value ...
if (php_var_unserialize(...)) {
php_set_session_var(name, &rv, &var_hash); // object stored
} else {
retval = FAILURE; goto break_outer_loop;
}
}
break_outer_loop:
PHP_VAR_UNSERIALIZE_DESTROY(var_hash); // ← __destruct fires HERE
return retval; // FAILURE
}
```
Even though the decoder returns FAILURE and `session_start()` calls `php_session_cancel_decode()` to destroy `$_SESSION`, the object's `__destruct` has ALREADY fired during `var_hash` cleanup.
## 4. Version Matrix
| Version | upload_progress | Vulnerable | Official Fix |
|---------|----------------|------------|-------------|
| < 5.4 | No | No | N/A |
| 5.4 - 5.6 | Yes | Yes | EOL, no fix |
| 7.0 - 7.4 | Yes | Yes | EOL, no fix |
| 8.0 - 8.1 | Yes | Yes | EOL, no fix |
| 8.2.x | Yes | Yes | → 8.2.35 |
| 8.3.x | Yes | Yes | → 8.3.36 |
| 8.4.x | Yes | Yes | → 8.4.27 |
| 8.5.x | Yes | Yes | → 8.5.12 |
Vulnerable code identical across ALL versions from PHP 5.4.0 (2012) to present.
## 5. Detection
```bash
# Check PHP version
php -r 'echo PHP_VERSION, PHP_EOL;'
# Check upload_progress setting
php -r 'echo ini_get("session.upload_progress.enabled"), PHP_EOL;'
# Check for handler mismatch across directories
find /var/www -name ".user.ini" -exec grep -l "serialize_handler" {} \;
# Monitor for exploitation attempts
grep -r "PHP_SESSION_UPLOAD_PROGRESS" /var/log/nginx/access.log
```
## 6. Mitigation
```ini
; Primary mitigation
session.upload_progress.enabled = Off
; Additional hardening
session.use_only_cookies = On
session.use_strict_mode = On
; Ensure consistent handler across directories
session.serialize_handler = php_serialize
```
**Warning:** Disabling `upload_progress` does NOT fix the var_destroy UAF or the serializer leak. Apply the official PHP patch.

name: php2shell
description: "Invoke this skill when a task holds an LFI/file-inclusion finding on a PHP target (or needs to assess one) and the target may run PHP 5.4-8.5.11 with default session.upload_progress settings: turns a read-only LFI into verified RCE via the session-file-injection chain (CVE-2026-109618/109619), lab-first and gated by program policy. Also covers passive detection of the vulnerable configuration."

# php2shell: session.upload_progress LFI-to-RCE (CVE-2026-109618/109619)
Under an **authorized** engagement only. This skill upgrades an existing
LFI/unsafe-include finding on a PHP target into RCE, or classifies the target
as not affected, using the vendored PoCs under `scripts/poc/php2shell/`
(upstream: ikow/php2shell-poc, MIT; see the LICENSE there).
## Hard gates (read before touching any target)
1. **Authorization**: the target must be inside the task's authorized scope.
2. **Program policy first**: many programs exclude or do not pay for
recently-patched third-party/framework zero-days within ~14 days of the
patch release. PHP patched these in 8.2.35/8.3.36/8.4.27/8.5.12
(2026-10-21). CHECK the program's policy on component zero-days BEFORE
testing a live target, and reflect the policy in how the finding is claimed
(often "reportable, not payable" or payable only after the clause lapses).
3. **Detection before exploitation**: fingerprint passively first (response
headers, error pages, X-Powered-By). Only targets on PHP 5.4.0-8.5.11
(any build with session.upload_progress enabled, the default) are
candidates.
4. **Lab first**: run chain 1 against the local lab (`lab/setup.sh` builds a
vulnerable PHP 8.2 FPM+nginx environment) until the mechanism is
understood, then one-shot the authorized target.
5. **Chains 2 and 3 (var_destroy UAF, serializer mismatch) are LAB-ONLY**:
never fire memory-corruption or serializer-confusion primitives at a
remote target. Detection of their preconditions is fine.
6. **One-shot verification** on the target: prove execution once (a marker
echo), capture evidence, stop. No persistence, no further exploration
through the shell.
## Chain 1 workflow (session file injection + LFI -> RCE)
1. Start with the task's LFI finding: note the include path parameter and its
constraints (prefix/suffix, truncation, wrapper filters).
2. Confirm the session path is reachable through that LFI: with
`session.upload_progress.enabled=On` (default), an in-flight multipart POST
with an attacker-named file field writes a session file under the session
save path containing the raw filename.
3. Inject PHP into the uploaded **filename** (not the file content):
`verify_session_injection.py` demonstrates the full mechanics (session
fixation via POST body PHPSESSID, raw filename storage, inclusion).
4. Race the session file's lifetime: include it through the LFI while the
upload is still in flight (or keep the upload connection open).
5. Verify RCE with a single marker command; record the request sequence as
evidence.
## Detection without an LFI
The chains need an app-level file-inclusion primitive; without one the
configuration is hardening-relevant, not exploitable. Report posture only.
## Vendored artifacts
- `poc/verify_session_injection.py` - chain 1 end-to-end against a lab URL
- `poc/verify_handler_mismatch.py` - chain 3 (lab only)
- `poc/verify_uaf_asan.php` - chain 2 under an ASAN PHP build (lab only)
- `lab/setup.sh` - builds the vulnerable docker lab locally
- `docs/ANALYSIS.md`, `README.upstream.md` - the upstream technical writeup
