Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2017-5630 affects PEAR/PECL installer behavior in PEAR Base System 1.10.1. During package download redirects, file type and filename checks were insufficient, allowing a malicious remote HTTP server to overwrite local files. Treat this as a build or administration tooling risk, not a general website exposure by itself. Exposure is most likely where PEAR Base System 1.10.1 or PECL tooling downloads packages from remote HTTP servers, mirrors, or redirected endpoints. Internet-facing applications are not automatically affected unless their operational workflow invokes the vulnerable installer path. Prioritize for developer workstations, build systems, and servers that install PECL packages. Urgency rises if installers run with broad write permissions or use untrusted package sources. Active exploitation is not evidenced in the supplied sources. Mitigation focus: Identify PEAR Base System 1.10.1 installations using PECL installer workflows.; Check PEAR bug 21171 and vendor guidance for fixed versions or recommended remediation.; Avoid untrusted HTTP package sources, mirrors, or redirect chains during PECL installs..
