    Package        : phpunit
    Version        : 9.5.2-1+deb11u1
    CVE ID         : CVE-2026-24765

    PHPUnit is a testing framework for PHP. A vulnerability has been
    discovered involving unsafe deserialization of code coverage data in
    PHPT test execution. The vulnerability exists in the
    `cleanupForCoverage()` method, which deserializes code coverage files
    without validation, potentially allowing remote code execution if
    malicious `.coverage` files are present prior to the execution of the
    PHPT test.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, this problem has been fixed in version
    9.5.2-1+deb11u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your phpunit packages.

    For the detailed security status of phpunit please refer to
    its security tracker page at:
    https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/phpunit
