Summary
FrankenPHP before 1.13.4 contains an information disclosure flaw in worker mode, where the last HTTP stream response headers are not cleared between requests (CWE-488). A later request calling http_get_last_response_headers() can read headers fetched by earlier requests on the same worker thread, exposing other users' Set-Cookie or token headers from backend APIs. An unauthenticated remote attacker can read these headers when the server handles requests in worker mode.

Description from the CNA
FrankenPHP before 1.13.4 contains an information disclosure vulnerability in worker mode that fails to clear last HTTP stream response headers between requests, because the reset only happens in RSHUTDOWN, which worker requests skip. Later requests calling http_get_last_response_headers() can read headers fetched by earlier requests on the same worker thread, exposing other users' Set-Cookie or token headers from backend APIs.
