Vulnerability in the PharStreamWrapper library affecting Drupal, Joomla, and Typo3

A vulnerability (CVE-2019-11831) has been identified in the PharStreamWrapper library, which provides handlers to protect against file injection attacks using the "Phar" format. This vulnerability allows attackers to bypass code deserialization protection through the substitution of the ".." character in paths. For example, an attacker can use a URL like "phar:///path/bad.phar/../good.phar" for the attack, and the library will extract the base name as "\/path\/good.phar" during validation, although further processing of such a path will be […]
