If you cannot patch yet, avoid exposing request paths that spawn child processes with default environments or restrict access to such functionality.

Description

FrankenPHP versions from 1.5.0 up to but not including 1.13.0 have an environment sandbox vulnerability where putenv modifies the process-wide OS environment. This causes leakage of environment variables, including secrets like database passwords, across concurrent requests when child processes are spawned with default environments.
