Real-World Exposure
zendframework/zendframework1Real-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Packagist packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
The PDO adapters in Zend Framework before 1.12.16 do not filer null bytes in SQL statements, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via a crafted query.

Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for zendframework/zendframework1, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update zendframework/zendframework1 to 1.12.16 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2015-7695 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
Until you can upgrade, make sure every query built from user input uses parameterised statements or a prepared-statement API rather than string concatenation, and reduce the database account's privileges so an injected query cannot read or alter data beyond what the feature needs.
