PHPMailer 6.8.1

on GitHub

This is a minor maintenance release.

Minor security note

The DSN support added in 6.8.0 reflects the DSN back to the user in an error message if it is invalid. If a DSN uses user-supplied input (a very bad idea), it opens a distant possibility of XSS if the host app does not escape output. In an abundance of caution, malformed DSNs are no longer reflected in error messages.

Changes

• Don't reflect malformed DSNs in error messages to avert any risk of XSS
• Improve Simplified Chinese, Sinhalese, and Norwegian translations
• Don't use setAccessible in PHP >= 8.1 in tests
• Avoid a deprecation notice in PHP 8.3
• Fix link in readme
