I've uploaded a new version of taint support for PHP. You can find all the files via: ftp://ftp.porcupine.org/pub/php/index.html This version supports PHP 5.2.5, and fixes one typo in mysqli support (thanks Adam Gundy). Little has changed because I wanted to catch up with the current PHP release first. What is taint support for PHP about? This is a preliminary implementation of support for tainted variables in PHP. The goal is to help PHP application programmers find and eliminate opportunities for HTML script injection, SQL or shell code injection, or PHP control hijacking, before other people can exploit them. The implementation provides taint support for basic operators and for a selection of built-functions and extensions. For examples and details, see the README file, also on-line at: ftp://ftp.porcupine.org/pub/php/php-5.2.5-taint-20080130.README.html I need your feedback to make this code complete. I hope to do several quick 1-2 month release cycles in which I collect feedback, fill in missing things, and adjust course until things stabilize. Wietse
