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][sec-1].
- Thanks go to [Faze-up][@Faze-up] and [Volker Dusch][@edorian] for responsibly disclosing the vulnerability.
- Additionally, thanks go to [Volker Dusch][@edorian], [Rodrigo Primo][@rodrigoprimo], [Dan Wallis][@fredden] and [Juliette Reinders Folmer][@jrfnl] for creating and testing the fix.
- Fixed bug [#1320]: Generic.Strings.UnnecessaryHeredoc: the fixer could incidentally change tab indentation to space indentation in select lines in the heredoc body.
- Fixed bug [#1354]: PSR12.Functions.ReturnTypeDeclaration: prevent an "Undefined array key" warning if the code under scan contains a parse error.
- Thanks to [Dan Wallis][@fredden] for the patch.
- Fixed bug [#1357]: Squiz.Scope.StaticThisUsage: false positive for usage of $this in non-static closures nested in OO methods.
- Fixed bug [#1368]: PEAR.Functions.FunctionDeclaration: the indentation for subsequent lines in multi-line block comments within a multi-line function signature, would be incorrectly determined, leading to false positives and resulting in a fixer conflict when running phpcbf.
- This also fixes, by extension, the same issue in the Squiz.Functions.MultiLineFunctionDeclaration sniff.
- Fixed bug [#1418]: Tokenizer/PHP: tokenization of an inline else colon after an inline comment could fail and/or throw a "Trying to access array offset on null" warning.
- Thanks to [Lazizbek Ergashev][@lazerg] for the patch.
- Fixed bug [#1435]: Generic.Formatting.MultipleStatementAlignment would get into a fixer conflict for multiple assignments within a single statement spanning multiple lines.
- Same as when the statement would be single-line, alignment of subsequent assignment operators within the same multi-line statement will now be ignored.
- Thanks to [Sergei Morozov][@morozov] for the patch.
- Fixed bug [#1451]: Tokenizer/PHP: prevent an "Undefined array key" warning during live coding when a file ends on the name in a constant declaration.
- Thanks to [Lazizbek Ergashev][@lazerg] and [Sai Asish Y][@SAY-5] for the patch.
- Fixed bug [#1463]: Squiz.Functions.FunctionDuplicateArgument: prevent an "Undefined array key" PHP warning when the sniff encounters a function declaration without parentheses (parse error / live coding).
- Thanks to [Rodrigo Primo][@rodrigoprimo] for the patch.
