The official PHP Extension and Application Repository (PEAR) website has been shut down after an apparent hack caused the original PHP PEAR package manager to be replaced by attackers with a tainted version. The malicious version seems to have been available for download for more than six months, meaning everyone who downloaded the package from the official webpage in that time could have been compromised. A new clear version 1.10.10 of pearweb_phars is now available on GitHub for everyone to download and install.”]
