Location

eval-stdin.php:3

Public detection evidence snapshot

Rerun detection

Install the Vettalon CLI and configure your models and credentials in config.toml. These steps isolate the vulnerable file for focused review. Model and rule versions may differ; identical results are not guaranteed. Deep mode sends source and context to configured models. This is detection only; it does not run the upstream application or verify exploitation.

git clone --branch 5.6.2 --depth 1 https://github.com/sebastianbergmann/phpunit.git phpunit-case
mkdir -p phpunit-focused
cp phpunit-case/src/Util/PHP/eval-stdin.php phpunit-focused/
vettalon scan ./phpunit-focused --profile deep --config ./config.toml --max-modules 8 --cross-check-top 8 --report ./phpunit-result.json --no-prior

Verifiable original-report excerpt

The excerpt preserves the original finding and any valid review text. The original report is not public. Its digest differs from the excerpt digest; curation is not a signature, vulnerability confirmation or trusted execution proof. The tag and line reference does not establish historical source bytes.

Limits and prerequisites

Requires an HTTP-accessible test helper. This record contains no end-to-end exploit evidence and claims no new discovery.
