Polyfill unserialize

Backports unserialize options introduced in PHP 7.0 to older PHP versions. This was originally designed as a Proof of Concept for Symfony Issue #21090.

You can use this package in projects that rely on PHP versions older than PHP 7.0. In case you are using PHP 7.0+ the original unserialize() will be used instead.

From the documentation:

Warning: Do not pass untrusted user input to unserialize(). Unserialization can result in code being loaded and executed due to object instantiation and autoloading, and a malicious user may be able to exploit this.

This warning holds true even when allowed_classes is used.

Requirements

• PHP 5.3+

Installation

You can install this package via composer:

composer require brumann/polyfill-unserialize "^1.0"

Known Issues

There is a mismatch in behavior when allowed_classes in $options is not of the correct type (array or boolean). PHP 7.1 will issue a warning, whereas PHP 7.0 will not. I opted to copy the behavior of the former.

Tests

You can run the test suite using PHPUnit. It is intentionally not bundled as dev dependency to make sure this package has the lowest restrictions on the implementing system as possible.

Please read the PHPUnit Manual for information how to install it on your system.

You can run the test suite as follows:

phpunit -c phpunit.xml.dist tests/

Contributing

This package is considered feature complete. As such I will likely not update it unless there are security issues.
