Source Advisory Statement

### Impact We have identified that some autoupgrade module ZIP archives have been built with phpunit dev dependencies. PHPUnit contains a php script that would allow, on a webserver, an attacker to perform a RCE. This vulnerability impacts - phpunit before 4.8.28 and 5.x before 5.6.3 as reported in [CVE-2017-9841](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2017-9841) - phpunit >= 5.63 before 7.5.19 and 8.5.1 (this is a newly found vulnerability that is currently being submitted as a CVE after disclosure was provided to phpunit maintainers) You can read PrestaShop official statement about this vulnerability [here](https://build.prestashop.com/news/critical-security-vulnerability-in-prestashop-modules/). ### Patches In the [security patch](https://github.com/PrestaShop/autoupgrade/releases/tag/v4.10.1), we look for the unwanted vendor/phpunit folder and remove it if we find it. This allows users to fix the security issue when upgrading. ### Workarounds Users can also simply remove the unwanted vendor/phpunit folder. ### References https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2017-9841 ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory, email us at security@prestashop.com
