/ 1 min read
🧬 New Fuzzing Framework Enhances PHP Interpreter Security. A novel fuzzing framework named FlowFusion has been developed to identify memory errors in the PHP interpreter, addressing a significant gap in existing research that primarily focuses on application-level security. By utilizing dataflow representation and merging multiple test cases, FlowFusion effectively uncovers complex bugs, discovering 158 unknown issues, of which 125 have been fixed. The framework outperformed traditional testing methods and other state-of-the-art fuzzers, achieving 24% greater code coverage within 24 hours. FlowFusion has been widely recognized and is now part of the official PHP toolchain, marking a significant advancement in enhancing the security and reliability of PHP applications.
