Changelog

The file documents changes to the PHP_CodeSniffer project for the 3.x series of releases.

[3.13.6] - 2026-08-06

This is a security release and all users are advised to update their install(s) as soon as possible.

Changed

• Various housekeeping, including improvements to the tests and documentation.
  • Thanks to [Sergei Morozov][@​morozov] and [Juliette Reinders Folmer][@​jrfnl] for their contributions.

Fixed

• SECURITY FIX: Running PHP_CodeSniffer over untrusted files, for example, in a CI pipeline that scans pull requests, or on a developer machine reviewing third-party code, could result in attacker-controlled shell commands being executed when the Gitblame, Hgblame or Svnblame report(s) would process a file whose name contains shell metacharacters. #1473
  • Users using the default Full report, or any of the other non-*blame reports, are not affected.
  • For more details, see the security advisory.
  • Thanks go to [Faze-up][@​Faze-up] and [Volker Dusch][@​edorian] for responsibly disclosing the vulnerability.
  • Additionally, thanks go to [Volker Dusch][@​edorian], [Rodrigo Primo][@​rodrigoprimo], [Dan Wallis][@​fredden] and [Juliette Reinders Folmer][@​jrfnl] for creating and testing the fix.

Other

• The GPG signature for the PHAR files has been rotated. The new fingerprint is: 5CB4F778BF9BC4FB67AE511D96E91A992CF22FF4.

#1473: PHPCSStandards/PHP_CodeSniffer#1473

[3.13.5] - 2025-11-04

Added

• Runtime support for PHP 8.5. All known PHP 8.5 deprecation notices have been fixed.
  • Syntax support for new PHP 8.5 features will follow in a future release.
  • If you find any PHP 8.5 deprecation notices which were missed, please report them.

Changed

• Various housekeeping, including improvements to the tests and documentation.
  • Thanks to [Rodrigo Primo][@​rodrigoprimo] and [Juliette Reinders Folmer][@​jrfnl] for their contributions.

Fixed

• Fixed bug #1216: Tokenizer/PHP: added more defensive coding to prevent PHP 8.5 "Using null as an array offset" deprecation notices.
  • Thanks to [Andrew Lyons][@​andrewnicols] for the patch.
• Fixed bug #1279: Tokenizer/PHP: on PHP < 8.0, an unclosed attribute (parse error) could end up removing some tokens from the token stream.
  • This could lead to false positives and false negative from sniffs, but could also lead to incorrect fixes being made mangling the file under scan.
  • Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the patch.

Other

• Please be aware that the master branch has been renamed to 3.x and the default branch has changed to the 4.x branch.
  • If you contribute to PHP_CodeSniffer, you will need to update your local git clone.
  • If you develop against PHP_CodeSniffer and run your tests against dev branches of PHPCS, you will need to update your workflows.
