How to Fix CVE-2015-7503

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Zendframework/zendframework dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

zendframework/zendframework fixed: 2.5.2
Upgrade zendframework/zendframework to 2.5.2
zendframework/zend-crypt fixed: 2.4.9
Upgrade zendframework/zend-crypt to 2.4.9
zendframework/zend-crypt fixed: 2.5.2
Upgrade zendframework/zend-crypt to 2.5.2
zendframework/zendframework fixed: 2.4.9
Upgrade zendframework/zendframework to 2.4.9
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:

inspect dependencies for zendframework/zendframework

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by CVE-2015-7503, inspect your project dependencies for Zendframework/zendframework:

inspect dependencies for zendframework/zendframework

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Zendframework/zendframework in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 2.5.2), your application is affected.

Note: Verify declared build manifests and deployed runtime container environments.
