Sec Bug #69768 escapeshell*() doesn't cater to !
Submitted: 2015-06-07 18:01 UTC Modified: 2015-07-10 14:45 UTC
From: cmb@php.net Assigned: cmb (profile)
Status: Closed Package: Program Execution
PHP Version: 5.6.9 OS: Windows
Private report: No CVE-ID: None

Description:
------------
When delayed variable substitution is enabled (can be set in the
Registry, for instance), !ENV! works similar to %ENV%, and the
value of the environment variable ENV will be subsituted.

Neither escapeshellcmd() nor escapeshellarg() handle ! as a
special character, so this can cause security issues.

I suggest to treat ! the same as %, i.e. escape it with ^ in
escapeshellcmd() and replace it with a space in escapeshellarg(),
like it's done in the attached patch.

Seems fine to me, go ahead and commit it, should probably go all the way down to 5.4
