TinyEnv: Missing .env file not required — may cause unexpected behavior
Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Affected | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|---|
| Packagist | datahihi1/tiny-env | < 1.0.3 | 1.0.3 |
| Packagist | datahihi1/tiny-env | >= 1.0.9, < 1.0.11 | 1.0.11 |
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Impact
TinyEnv did not require the `.env` file to exist when loading environment variables.
This could lead to **unexpected behavior** where the application silently ignores missing configuration, potentially causing insecure defaults or deployment misconfigurations.
Affected versions:
- **1.0.1 → 1.0.2**
- **1.0.9 → 1.0.10**
### Patches
The issue has been fixed in **version 1.0.11**.
All users should upgrade to `1.0.11` or later.
### Workarounds
As a workaround, users can manually verify the existence of the `.env` file before initializing TinyEnv, for example:
```php
if (!file_exists(__DIR__ . '/.env')) {
throw new RuntimeException('.env file is missing!');
}
