Overview

composer/composer is a Dependency Manager for PHP. Composer helps you declare, manage and install dependencies of PHP projects. It ensures you have the right stack everywhere.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Neutralization. URLs for Mercurial repositories in the root composer.json and package source download URLs are not sanitized correctly. Specifically crafted URL values allow commands to be executed in the HgDriver if hg/Mercurial is installed on the system.
