CVE-2026-49286
CVE-2026-49286 · PhpWeasyPrint vulnerable to PHAR deserialization via output filename (CVE-2023-28115 case-insensitive bypass)
This page contains facts from public vulnerability sources. Check the original advisory before updating.
PhpWeasyPrint is a PHP library allowing PDF generation from a URL or an HTML page. Prior to version 2.6.0, `pontedilana/php-weasyprint` guarded the output filename against the `phar://` stream wrapper with a case-sensitive blacklist. PHP stream wrappers are case-insensitive, so `PHAR://`, `Phar://`, etc. bypass the check and reach `fileExists()` (`file_exists()`) in `prepareOutput()`. On PHP 7 (which the library still supports — PHP 7.4+), this triggers deserialization of a crafted PHAR archive's metadata, leading to remote code execution. This is the patch-bypass of CVE-2023-28115. The same issue and fix were handled upstream in KnpLabs/snappy (GHSA-92rv-4j2h-8mjj). PhpWeasyPrint version 2.6.0 contains a patch for the issue.
