From: steve at mountainmedia dot com Operating system: Fedora Core 4/Linux 2.6.14.3 PHP version: 5.1.6 PHP Bug Type: Class/Object related Bug description: Private members accessible to print_r
Description: ------------ Private variables are accessible to the print_r function outside of the object. Even if one cannot access the variable directly, one could easily parse the output of print_r to grab private data from an object. Reproduce code: --------------- <? class Example { private $secret = "My secret"; public $notsecret = "Not my secret"; } $ex = new Example; $x = print_r ($ex, true); print $x; ?> Expected result: ---------------- I expected the private members to be invisible or replaced with something to indicate the lack of access such as <Private>. Actual result: -------------- Example Object ( [secret:private] => My secret [notsecret] => Not my secret ) Private variables are displayed and data is stored in the string variable $x which one could easily parse to get the value of secret:private. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=39118&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39118&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39118&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39118&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39118&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39118&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39118&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39118&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39118&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39118&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39118&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39118&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39118&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39118&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39118&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39118&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39118&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39118&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39118&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39118&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39118&r=mysqlcfg
