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.
