Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
PHPSpreadsheet versions before 1.30.5 (fixed in 1.30.5) contain a bypass of an earlier patch for CVE-2026-34084: the File::prohibitWrappers check can be skipped with a phar:/// path that has three slashes after the scheme, so the phar stream wrapper is still reached. The report says that on PHP 7.x this can lead to remote code execution through phar metadata deserialization, while on PHP 8.x the impact is limited to a phar wrapper file read unless downstream code calls Phar::getMetadata. Upgrade to PhpSpreadsheet 1.30.5 or later.
