3.13.6 - 2026-08-06

on PHP Packagist

This is a security release and all users are advised to update their install(s) as soon as possible.

Changed

• Various housekeeping, including improvements to the tests and documentation.
  • Thanks to Sergei Morozov and Juliette Reinders Folmer for their contributions.

Fixed

• SECURITY FIX: Running PHP_CodeSniffer over untrusted files, for example, in a CI pipeline that scans pull requests, or on a developer machine reviewing third-party code, could result in attacker-controlled shell commands being executed when the Gitblame, Hgblame or Svnblame report(s) would process a file whose name contains shell metacharacters. #1473
  • Users using the default Full report, or any of the other non-*blame reports, are not affected.
  • For more details, see the security advisory.
  • Thanks go to Faze-up and Volker Dusch for responsibly disclosing the vulnerability.
  • Additionally, thanks go to Volker Dusch, Rodrigo Primo, Dan Wallis and Juliette Reinders Folmer for creating and testing the fix.

Other

• The GPG signature for the PHAR files has been rotated. The new fingerprint is: 5CB4F778BF9BC4FB67AE511D96E91A992CF22FF4.
