The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201711-15 (PHPUnit: Remote code execution)

When PHPUnit is installed in a production environment via composer and       these modules are in a web accessible directory, the eval-stdin.php file       in PHPUnit contains vulnerable statements that trigger the vulnerability.

Impact :

A remote attacker could possibly execute arbitrary PHP code or cause a       Denial of Service condition.

Workaround :

There are several ways to fix or mitigate this vulnerability:
Remove PHPUnit from the production environment.
Update PHPUnit.
Manually apply the patch.
Disable direct access to the composer packages by placing .htaccess file       to /vendor folder.
