CVE-2017-9841 (opens in a new tab)Amendment
The Ubuntu security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for Ubuntu:20.10.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream phpunit package and not the phpunit package as distributed by Ubuntu.
Util/PHP/eval-stdin.php in PHPUnit before 4.8.28 and 5.x before 5.6.3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via HTTP POST data beginning with a "<?php " substring, as demonstrated by an attack on a site with an exposed /vendor folder, i.e., external access to the /vendor/phpunit/phpunit/src/Util/PHP/eval-stdin.php URI.
