Automatic named constructor discovery in Valinor
What to do
Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (cuyz/valinor 0.7.0), redeploy, then verify what is actually installed.
This page has no inventory attached, so it cannot say whether you are affected. A vendor fix is not proof that your deployment is fixed.

Source description
As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.
Design issue - automatic constructor discovery The issue arises when upgrading from cuyz/valinor:0.3.0 to a newer system on an existing application, which broke due to the wrong constructor being picked. Still, a bigger security concern is problematic, and it is akin to https://github.com/rails/rails/issues/5228. Example exploit Take following DTO example: There is nothing inherently unsafe about the above UserDTO, but when mixed with cuyz/valinor:^0.5.0 ( specifically https://github.com/CuyZ/Valinor/commit/718d3c1bc2ea7d28b4b1f6c062addcd1dde8660b ), it is an explosive mix: The above payload is represented in PHP form, but may as well be input JSON, HTML or x-form-urlencoded. Mitigation Version 0.7.0 contains a patch for this issue. Automatic named constructor resolution should be disabled - only explicitly mapped named constructors should be used/discovered.

# Patch Next advisory brief: GHSA-xhr8-mpwq-2rr2 Advisory: Automatic named constructor discovery in Valinor IDs: GHSA-xhr8-mpwq-2rr2 Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/ghsa-xhr8-mpwq-2rr2 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 13:56 UTC) Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected. Severity: Unrated Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV. Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: cuyz/valinor 0.7.0. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed. ## Affected components - Packagist cuyz/valinor: affected >= 0.5.0, < 0.7.0; fixed in 0.7.0 ## Suggested inspection (read-only) - Packagist cuyz/valinor: check the installed version with your package manager. ## Supported action Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version. ## Required regression checks - Run the test suite and a production build. - Exercise the features that depend on cuyz/valinor. - Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed. ## Rollback considerations - Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward. ## Unresolved questions - Which deployments run an affected version? - Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority. - Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production. ## Sources - Verified: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-xhr8-mpwq-2rr2 (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-xhr8-mpwq-2rr2 lists affected ranges: Packagist cuyz/valinor >=0.5.0 <0.7.0) Commands are suggestions: review each one before running it.
