Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=70405&edit=1 ID: 70405 Updated by: kalle@php.net Reported by: incubeftw at gmail dot com Summary: Exploit -Status: Open +Status: Not a bug -Type: Security +Type: Bug Package: PHP Language Specification Operating System: Ubuntu 15.04 PHP Version: 7.0.0RC1 Block user comment: N Private report: Y New Comment: This is not a bug. The private and protected keywords are visibility modifiers, meaning they allow you to modify (or not) on certain properties. Checkout the documentation[1] for var_dump(), it is already explicitly written there that no matter the visibility modifiers are for properties, everything is read. The object to array cast is described here[2].

Getting it's value is even easier since you can just cast it to an array and then dump it to file. It does NOT matter if it is a protected variable or not. Test script: --------------- <?php class A { private $mysqlUser = 'root'; protected $mysqlPassword = 'test'; private $mysqlDatabase = 'myDatabase'; } $classA = new A(); echo "<pre>"; // Exploit #1 var_dump($classA); // Exploit #2 foreach((array)$classA as $x => $y) { echo "X => ".$x." Y => ".$y."\n"; } ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=70405&edit=1
