Mitigation checklist

Recommended fix / mitigation

To mitigate this issue, avoid processing phar archives from untrusted sources. If the `phar` extension is not essential for your application, consider disabling it in the PHP configuration. Disabling the `phar` extension may impact applications that rely on it for legitimate archive handling.
