This repository contains a checker, not PHP. Vulnerabilities in PHP itself go to the PHP project: https://github.com/php/php-src/security.
This project has no support and no security contact. It is provided as is, see the disclaimer in README.md. If you find a flaw in the checker, you may open an issue, but there is no obligation to answer or fix it.
Every release tag has a SHA256SUMS file. Check the script against it before
you run it as root:
sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS
