FrankenPHP's unicode case-folding length expansion causes incorrect split_path index (SCRIPT_NAME/PATH_INFO confusion) in FrankenPHP

FrankenPHP’s CGI path splitting logic improperly handles Unicode characters during case conversion.

Because strings.ToLower() in Go can increase the byte length of certain UTF-8 characters (e.g., Ⱥ expands when lowercased), the computed index may not align with the correct position in the original string. …

FrankenPHP has delayed propagation of security fixes in upstream base images

Vulnerability in base Docker images (PHP, Go, and Alpine) not automatically propagating to FrankenPHP images. FrankenPHP's container images were previously built only when specific version tags were updated or when manual triggers were initiated. This meant that if an upstream base image (such as Alpine Linux or official PHP/Go images) received a security patch under an existing tag, the FrankenPHP image would remain on the older, vulnerable version of those …
