Security Advisory

  • This release contains a fix for a security advisory related to the improper handling of shell commands
    • Uses of shell_exec() and exec() were not escaping filenames and configuration settings in most cases
    • A properly crafted filename or configuration option would allow for arbitrary code execution when using some features
    • All users are encouraged to upgrade to this version, especially if you are checking 3rd-party code
      • e.g., you run PHPCS over libraries that you did not write
      • e.g., you provide a web service that runs PHPCS over user-uploaded files or 3rd-party repositories
      • e.g., you allow external tool paths to be set by user-defined values
    • If you are unable to upgrade but you check 3rd-party code, ensure you are not using the following features:
      • The diff report
      • The notify-send report
      • The Generic.PHP.Syntax sniff
      • The Generic.Debug.CSSLint sniff
      • The Generic.Debug.ClosureLinter sniff
      • The Generic.Debug.JSHint sniff
      • The Squiz.Debug.JSLint sniff
      • The Squiz.Debug.JavaScriptLint sniff
      • The Zend.Debug.CodeAnalyzer sniff
    • Thanks to Klaus Purer for the report
