Bug #67296 filter_input doesn't validate variables set by nginx/php-fpm
Submitted: 2014-05-16 22:34 UTC Modified: 2014-07-02 20:24 UTC

Private report: No CVE-ID: None

Description:
------------
I'm running nginx which communicates via FastCGI to php-fpm. The filter_input() function doesn't validate any of the variables which are sent via FastCGI within the global $_SERVER array.

Test script:
---------------
<?php

foreach ($_SERVER as $variable_name => $value) {
  var_dump($value);
  var_dump(filter_input(INPUT_SERVER, $variable_name, FILTER_UNSAFE_RAW));
}

?>

Expected result:
----------------
The filter_input() function should validate the variable within the $_SERVER array. I know that filter_input() can't be used if you set something in your code but in my opinion it should accept the data that was sent via FastCGI. Otherwise the function is pretty useless for non Apache users.

Actual result:
--------------
Always returns NULL.

any chance that you are using auto_globals_jit?
somebody else also reported on the mailing list that input_filter won't trigger the jit variable, so I wonder if this is the same or a different bug.

Yes, I am. Here's my complete PHP configuration:

I've verified that this isn't related to auto_globals_jit, but a duplicate of https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=49184 and seems to be present for a while now. :/
I will try to get it fixed, I will close this as a duplicate, you can track the progress on the other bugreport.
