Binary Webshell Through OPcache in PHP 7

A PHP 7 exploitation technique: OPcache's file cache stores compiled bytecode under a folder writable by the web user. Given an unrestricted file upload and the target's system_id (an md5 fingerprint computable from phpinfo()), an attacker overwrites a cached .bin file with a compiled webshell that runs when the matching PHP script is requested, bypassing hardened read-only web roots. Variants defeat memory-cache priority and timestamp validation using WordPress's known-static file timestamps.
