PHPUnit is a testing framework for PHP. A vulnerability has been discovered involving unsafe deserialization of code coverage data in PHPT test execution. The vulnerability exists in the cleanupForCoverage() method, which deserializes code coverage files without validation, potentially allowing remote code execution if malicious .coverage files are present prior to the execution of the PHPT test.



For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version 7.5.6-1+deb10u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your phpunit packages.
