phpcov is a command-line tool for processing code coverage data generated by running tests. Running tests is a development-time activity. There is no reason why phpcov should be installed on a webserver and/or in a production environment.

If you upload phpcov to a webserver then your deployment process is broken. On a more general note, if your vendor directory is publicly accessible on your webserver then your deployment process is also broken.

Please note that if you upload phpcov to a webserver "bad things" may happen. You have been warned.

phpcov is developed with a focus on development environments and the command-line. No specific testing or hardening with regard to using phpcov in an HTTP or web context or with untrusted input data is performed. phpcov might also contain functionality that intentionally exposes internal application data for debugging purposes.

If phpcov is used in a web application, the application developer is responsible for filtering inputs or escaping outputs as necessary and for verifying that the used functionality is safe for use within the intended context.

Vulnerabilities specific to the use outside a development context will be fixed as applicable, provided that the fix does not have an averse effect on the primary use case for development purposes.
