Fixed

SECURITY FIX: Running PHP_CodeSniffer over untrusted files, for example, in a CI pipeline that scans pull requests, or on a developer machine reviewing third-party code, could result in attacker-controlled shell commands being executed when the Gitblame, Hgblame or Svnblame report(s) would process a file whose name contains shell metacharacters. #1473
- Users using the default Full report, or any of the other non-*blame reports, are not affected.
- For more details, see the security advisory.
- Thanks go to Faze-up and Volker Dusch for responsibly disclosing the vulnerability.
- Additionally, thanks go to Volker Dusch, Rodrigo Primo, Dan Wallis and Juliette Reinders Folmer for creating and testing the fix.
Fixed bug #1320: Generic.Strings.UnnecessaryHeredoc: the fixer could incidentally change tab indentation to space indentation in select lines in the heredoc body.
Fixed bug #1354: PSR12.Functions.ReturnTypeDeclaration: prevent an "Undefined array key" warning if the code under scan contains a parse error.
- Thanks to Dan Wallis for the patch.
Fixed bug #1357: Squiz.Scope.StaticThisUsage: false positive for usage of $this in non-static closures nested in OO methods.
Fixed bug #1368: PEAR.Functions.FunctionDeclaration: the indentation for subsequent lines in multi-line block comments within a multi-line function signature, would be incorrectly determined, leading to false positives and resulting in a fixer conflict when running phpcbf.
- This also fixes, by extension, the same issue in the Squiz.Functions.MultiLineFunctionDeclaration sniff.
Fixed bug #1418: Tokenizer/PHP: tokenization of an inline else colon after an inline comment could fail and/or throw a "Trying to access array offset on null" warning.
- Thanks to Lazizbek Ergashev for the patch.
Fixed bug #1435: Generic.Formatting.MultipleStatementAlignment would get into a fixer conflict for multiple assignments within a single statement spanning multiple lines.
- Same as when the statement would be single-line, alignment of subsequent assignment operators within the same multi-line statement will now be ignored.
- Thanks to Sergei Morozov for the patch.
Fixed bug #1451: Tokenizer/PHP: prevent an "Undefined array key" warning during live coding when a file ends on the name in a constant declaration.
- Thanks to Lazizbek Ergashev and Sai Asish Y for the patch.
Fixed bug #1463: Squiz.Functions.FunctionDuplicateArgument: prevent an "Undefined array key" PHP warning when the sniff encounters a function declaration without parentheses (parse error / live coding).
- Thanks to Rodrigo Primo for the patch.

`v4.0.1`: - 2025-11-10

Compare Source

This release includes all improvements and bugfixes from PHP_CodeSniffer 3.13.5.

Added

Runtime support for PHP 8.5. All known PHP 8.5 deprecation notices have been fixed.
- Syntax support for new PHP 8.5 features will follow in a future release.
- If you find any PHP 8.5 deprecation notices which were missed, please report them.

Changed

The Squiz.ControlStructures.SwitchDeclaration sniff will now flag a PHP close tag as a "wrong opener" and will auto-fix this by inserting a colon. #1316
Various housekeeping, including improvements to the tests and documentation.

Fixed

4.x regression #1277: bring back whitespace tolerance in phpcs:ignore comma-separated rule reference lists.
- Note: this bug did not affect phpcs:disable/phpcs:enable ignore annotations.
Fixed bug #968: Generic.WhiteSpace.ScopeIndent was reporting false positives - and making incorrect fixes - for lines following a line containing an arrow function.
- Thanks to Soichi Sato for the patch.
Fixed bug #1216: Tokenizer/PHP: added more defensive coding to prevent PHP 8.5 "Using null as an array offset" deprecation notices.
- Thanks to Andrew Lyons for the patch.
Fixed bug #1279: Tokenizer/PHP: on PHP < 8.0, an unclosed attribute (parse error) could end up removing some tokens from the token stream.
- This could lead to false positives and false negative from sniffs, but could also lead to incorrect fixes being made mangling the file under scan.
Fixed bug #1315: Squiz.ControlStructures.SwitchDeclaration: a number of the fixers would get into fixer conflicts with each other if the code under scan contained multiple statements on a line within a switch.
- The sniff will now forbid - and auto-fix - multiple statements on one line for case/default and "case breaking" statements.
Fixed bug #1316: Tokenizer/PHP: a PHP close tag after a switch case condition or after a default keyword, was not regarded as a "scope_opener" for the case/default body.
Fixed bug #1316: PSR2.ControlStructures.SwitchDeclaration: the WrongOpener error is now also auto-fixable if the wrong opener is a PHP close tag.
Fixed bug #1316: Squiz.PHP.NonExecutableCode would throw false positives when code within a switch control structure would move in and out of PHP.

⚠️ Artifact update problem

Renovate failed to update an artifact related to this branch. You probably do not want to merge this PR as-is.

♻ Renovate will retry this branch, including artifacts, only when one of the following happens:

any of the package files in this branch needs updating, or
the branch becomes conflicted, or
you click the rebase/retry checkbox if found above, or
you rename this PR's title to start with "rebase!" to trigger it manually

The artifact failure details are included below:

File name: composer.lock

Command failed: composer update squizlabs/php_codesniffer:4.0.4 --with-dependencies --ignore-platform-req=ext-* --ignore-platform-req=lib-* --no-ansi --no-interaction --no-scripts --no-autoloader --no-plugins --minimal-changes

Updating dependencies
Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

  Problem 1
    - Root composer.json requires squizlabs/php_codesniffer ^4.0.4, found squizlabs/php_codesniffer[4.0.4] but these were not loaded, likely because it conflicts with another require.
  Problem 2
    - doctrine/coding-standard is locked to version 9.0.0 and an update of this package was not requested.
    - doctrine/coding-standard 9.0.0 requires squizlabs/php_codesniffer ^3.6.0 -> found squizlabs/php_codesniffer[3.6.0, ..., 3.13.6] but it conflicts with your root composer.json require (^4.0.4).

Use the option --with-all-dependencies (-W) to allow upgrades, downgrades and removals for packages currently locked to specific versions.
