CVE-2021-37704: Exposure of Resource to Wrong Sphere

August 12, 2021 (updated October 27, 2022)

PhpFastCache is a high-performance backend cache system (packagist package phpfastcache/phpfastcache). the phpinfo() can be exposed if the /vendor is not protected from public access. This is a rare situation today since the vendor directory is often located outside the web directory or protected via server rule (.htaccess, etc).
