S-286: PHP Path Translation Vulnerability

PHP contains a path translation vulnerability that may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code. The risk is MEDIUM. An attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code in the context of an application that uses the vulnerable function. The scope of the impact depends on how the affected application works. Applications that process filename input from the network, such as public-facing web applications, would be vulnerable to a remote attacker.
