Description

### Impact The `phpinfo()` can be exposed if the `/vendor` is not protected from public access. This is a rare situation today since the vendor directory is often located outside the web directory or protected via server rule (.htaccess, etc). ### Patches Only the v6, v7 and v8 will be patched respectively in 8.0.7, 7.1.2, 6.1.5. Older versions such as v5, v4 are not longer supported and will **NOT** be patched. ### Workarounds Protect the `/vendor` directory from public access. ### References The first issue revealing this vulnerability is located here: https://github.com/flextype/flextype/issues/567 V6 fix: https://github.com/PHPSocialNetwork/phpfastcache/pull/815 V7 fix: https://github.com/PHPSocialNetwork/phpfastcache/pull/814 V8 fix: https://github.com/PHPSocialNetwork/phpfastcache/pull/813 ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory: * Open an issue in [our issue tracker](https://github.com/PHPSocialNetwork/phpfastcache/issues) * Email us at [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])
