Last modified Jun 16, 2026

CVE-2011-0754 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The SplFileInfo::getType function in the Standard PHP Library (SPL) extension in PHP before 5.3.4 on Windows does not properly detect symbolic links, which might make it easier for local users to conduct symlink attacks by leveraging cross-platform differences in the stat structure, related to lack of a FILE_ATTRIBUTE_REPARSE_POINT check.. EPSS estimates a 0.34% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
