ID: 65352 Comment by: mail+php at requinix dot net Reported by: seyferseed at mail dot ru Summary: Method Closure::bind() can access private property of object Status: Open Type: Bug Package: Class/Object related Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 5.4.17 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: >$bar = $foo->getBar(); Simply making the function return by reference is not enough: you have to assign by reference too. Otherwise the function returns a reference, yes, but your assignment makes a copy. You need both of the &s. http://php.net/language.references.return The first note on the page says exactly that. Your version with Closure::bind() had both. That's why it worked. Resolved? Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-07-31 02:19:17] seyferseed at mail dot ru If i'm add & there $bar = & $foo->getBar(); $bar = "tab"; echo $foo->getBar(); I really can change Private $foo to "tab". I'm so confused... I'm expected Fatal error: Cannot access private property But by reference there is no error. Maybe this is PHP "feature" and there is no bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-07-31 02:14:11] seyferseed at mail dot ru But if i'm add this function to class Foo by code it in class, i can't access private property! And this is right. You say, that my Getter function used in Closure::bind() can change (like Setter) private property and this is right? I don't think so. Example: class Foo { private $bar = 'baz'; public function &getBar() { return $this->bar; } } $foo = new Foo(); $bar = $foo->getBar(); $bar = "tab"; echo $foo->getBar(); It's still "bar". And i don't know how i can change Private property of class by reference in this case. It will be wrong, if i can. And now i'm take my getter public function &getBar() { return $this->bar; } Put it in Closure::bind() and i can change Private property. This is really wrong. If i can change it only in function, that binded to Closure::bind(), like $value = & Closure::bind(function & () use ($property) { $this->property = "tab"; return $this->$property; }, $object, $object)->__invoke(); It's okay, becouse it statically inside Foo. But Client code can change Private property by reference! Is that right? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-07-30 18:09:38] mail+php at requinix dot net As noted in Closure::bind(), "public static Closure Closure::bind ( Closure $closure , object $newthis [, mixed $newscope = 'static' ] ) newscope The class scope to which associate the closure is to be associated, or 'static' to keep the current one. If an object is given, the type of the object will be used instead. This determines the visibility of protected and private methods of the bound object." You changed the scope of the function to be that of inside $foo. Naturally it would have access to private members. If you don't want it to do that then omit newscope=$object. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-07-29 04:39:42] seyferseed at mail dot ru Description: ------------ Method Closure::bind() can access private property of object. And modify it by reference. It is a violation of encapsulation. See script for example. http://3v4l.org/JE0eX Test script: --------------- <?php class Foo { private $bar = 'baz'; } $reader = function & ($object, $property) { $value = & Closure::bind(function & () use ($property) { return $this->$property; }, $object, $object)->__invoke(); return $value; }; $foo = new Foo(); $bar = & $reader($foo, 'bar'); $bar = 'tab'; var_dump($foo); Expected result: ---------------- Fatal error: Cannot access private property Foo::$bar in /in/JE0eX on line 8 Actual result: -------------- Output for 5.4.0 - 5.5.1 object(Foo)#2 (1) { ["bar":"Foo":private]=> &string(3) "tab" } ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=65352&edit=1
