Versionscan is a tool for evaluating your currently installed PHP version and checking it against known CVEs and the versions they were fixed in to report back potential issues.

{
    "require": {
        "psecio/versionscan": "dev-master"
    }
}

The only current dependency is the Symfony console.

To run the scan against your current PHP version, use:

bin/versionscan

The script will check the PHP_VERSION for the current instance and generate the pass/fail results. The output looks similar to:

Executing against version: 5.4.24
+--------+---------------+------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Status | CVE ID        | Risk | Summary                                                                                              |
+--------+---------------+------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| FAIL   | CVE-2014-3597 | 6.8  | Multiple buffer overflows in the php_parserr function in ext/standard/dns.c in PHP before 5.4.32 ... |
| FAIL   | CVE-2014-3587 | 4.3  | Integer overflow in the cdf_read_property_info function in cdf.c in file through 5.19, as used in... |

Results will be reported back colorized as well to easily show the pass/fail of the check.

There are several parameters that can be given to the tool to configure its scans and results:

If you'd like to define a PHP version to check other than the one the script finds itself, you can use the php-version parameter:

bin/versionscan scan --php-version=4.3.2

You can also tell the versionscan to only report back the failures and not the passing tests:

bin/versionscan scan --fail-only

You can also sort the results either by the CVE ID or by severity (risk rating), with the sort parameter and either the "cve" or "risk" value:

bin/versionscan scan --sort=risk
