+    <p>PHPUnit is a programmer-oriented testing framework for PHP. It is an
+      instance of the xUnit architecture for unit testing frameworks.

+  </background>
+  <description>
+    <p>When PHPUnit is installed in a production environment via composer and
+      these modules are in a web accessible directory, the eval-stdin.php file
+      in PHPUnit contains vulnerable statements that trigger the vulnerability.
+    </p>

+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>A remote attacker could possibly execute arbitrary PHP code or cause a
+      Denial of Service condition.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>There are several ways to fix or mitigate this vulnerability:</p>
+    
+    <p>Remove PHPUnit from the production environment.</p>
+    
+    <p>Update PHPUnit.</p>
+    
+    <p>Manually apply the patch.</p>
+    
+    <p>Disable direct access to the composer packages by placing .htaccess file
+      to /vendor folder.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>All PHPUnit users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
