Pear · Html Quickform · CVE-2018-1999022
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
PEAR HTML QuickForm versions 3.2.14 and earlier
**Description**
The issue concerns an eval injection that can lead to possible information disclosure, impact on data integrity, and execution of arbitrary code. This can be exploited via a specially crafted query string, for example, a malicious URL that injects unauthorized code. The `getSubmitValue` method, `validate` method, ` setOptions` method, ` findValue` method, and ` prepareValue` method in `HTML QuickForm`, `HTML QuickForm hierselect`, and `HTML QuickForm element` are affected.
**Recommendations**
For PEAR HTML QuickForm version 3.2.14 and earlier, update to version 3.2.15 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the `getSubmitValue`, `validate`, ` setOptions`, ` findValue`, and ` prepareValue` methods until the update is applied. Avoid using specially crafted query strings that could exploit the eval injection vulnerability.
