Impact
The vulnerability arises in SearchEngine::matchesSingleFilter of PHP‑FTS. Manipulating filter parameters causes an incorrect comparison which an attacker can exploit remotely to bypass the intended filtering logic. This flaw, identified by CWE‑697, can allow an attacker to access data that should have been filtered out.
Affected Systems
The affected product is the PHP‑FTS library from olivier‑ls. Versions up to and including 1.1.3 are vulnerable. The vendor released a fix in version 1.1.4, identified by commit 0b2fae333d6b022da7ed4c43e2d41aa03f91dff3.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS score of 5.3 indicates a moderate risk level. EPSS is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, suggesting it has not yet been widely exploited in the wild. The attack vector is remote; exploitation is achievable by sending crafted filter input to the SearchEngine endpoint. The patch mitigates the issue by correcting the comparison logic.
