Updates the bundled Guzzle HTTP client (src/Client/lib/Lib, generated by Mozart) from 7.8.0 to 7.15.5, and guzzlehttp/psr7 from 2.6.1 to 2.13.1.

Why

  • The bundled versions are affected by several security advisories, fixed in Guzzle 7.15.2 and psr7 2.12.3 (e.g. GHSA-v5mv-p594-2x33, GHSA-f7vp-7xgx-4w4r, GHSA-c2w2-prh8-qm98). The plugin only talks to a fixed Plausible API URL without cookies or redirects, so the practical impact is limited, but security scanners flag bundled vulnerable libraries.
  • Guzzle 7.8 calls curl_close(), which is deprecated since PHP 8.5.

Changes

  • src/Client/composer.json: require guzzlehttp/guzzle ^7.15.2 and guzzlehttp/psr7 ^2.12.3; src/Client/lib/Lib regenerated with Mozart (composer update "guzzlehttp/*" -W + mozart compose in src/Client). No hand edits in lib/.
  • New src/polyfills.php, loaded right after the autoloader. It lives outside src/Client, so Mozart and the OpenAPI generator leave it alone:
    • Since 7.11, Guzzle uses PHP 8.0 functions (get_debug_type(), preg_last_error_msg(), …). On PHP 7.x these come from symfony/polyfill-php80, whose bootstrap.php Mozart does bundle (pointing at the prefixed class), but which is normally loaded through Composer's files autoloading. So polyfills.php loads it. It does nothing on PHP 8.0+.
    • Since 7.15, Utils::jsonEncode() (used by the generated API client for every request body) calls trigger_deprecation() from symfony/deprecation-contracts. Mozart doesn't bundle it and releases are built without dev dependencies, so without a fallback every API request would fatal. polyfills.php defines it (a silenced E_USER_DEPRECATED, like Symfony's) when it doesn't exist.
  • Root composer.json: constrain the symfony/deprecation-contracts dev dependency to ^2.5. v3 requires PHP 8.1 and its trigger_deprecation() signature fatals on PHP 7.4, which the CI job for 7.4 would hit now that it's called on every request.
  • Changelog entry under 2.6.2.

Testing

  • Full test suite passes on PHP 7.4, 8.3 and 8.5 (on 8.5 the curl_close() deprecation is gone).
  • Release-build simulation (composer install --no-dev, so without symfony/deprecation-contracts) on PHP 7.4, 8.3 and 8.5: a real API request with a JSON body through the bundled client works, and the deprecation is silenced. Without polyfills.php the same request fatals on every version (on 7.4 already on get_debug_type()).
  • Live site on PHP 7.4 and 8.3: saving the settings (goal, funnel and custom property provisioning against the real API) works without errors and leaves the funnels intact.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Security & Reliability

    • Updated the bundled HTTP client to address security advisories and a PHP 8.5 deprecation notice.
    • Improved handling of HTTP requests, responses, cookies, redirects, and network connections.
  • Compatibility

    • Added support for PHP features on older PHP versions.
    • Internationalized self-hosted domains are now converted to ASCII when building hosted-domain URLs.

Follow-up: no deprecated Guzzle calls in normal requests

The generated API client called Guzzle's Utils::jsonEncode() for every request body. Since Guzzle 7.15 that's deprecated and reported through the global trigger_deprecation(). If another plugin loads an unprefixed copy of symfony/deprecation-contracts v3 (PHP 8.1+) first, that function fatals on PHP 7.x (must be an instance of mixed), so every Plausible API request crashed. Reproduced on PHP 7.4 (settings save → 500).

  • DefaultApi now uses ObjectSerializer::jsonEncode(), which behaves the same (throws InvalidArgumentException on failure). Both are generated files: a test fails when a regenerated client calls Guzzle's JSON helpers again.
  • Release build (no dev dependencies), GET/PUT/DELETE requests on PHP 7.4, 8.3 and 8.5: 0 deprecations triggered.
  • The PHP 7.4 conflict scenario above now saves the settings without errors.

Follow-up: internationalized self-hosted domains

Guzzle 7.15 rejects non-ASCII hosts before sending a request, where cURL used to convert them (plausible.müller.de → "must contain only printable ASCII characters"). Helpers::get_hosted_domain_url() now converts the self-hosted domain to punycode (plausible.xn--mller-kva.de), using ext-intl or else the Requests library bundled with WordPress (both WpOrg\Requests\IdnaEncoder and the older Requests_IDNAEncoder). All other host variants (custom ports, IP addresses, localhost, internal names with underscores, trailing dots) behave the same as with Guzzle 7.8.

The bundled guzzlehttp/guzzle 7.8.0 and guzzlehttp/psr7 2.6.1 are affected
by several security advisories (fixed in 7.15.2 and 2.12.3), and Guzzle
calls curl_close(), which is deprecated since PHP 8.5.

- Require guzzlehttp/guzzle ^7.15.2 and guzzlehttp/psr7 ^2.12.3 in
  src/Client/composer.json and regenerate src/Client/lib/Lib with Mozart.
- Since 7.11, Guzzle uses PHP 8.0 functions (get_debug_type(),
  preg_last_error_msg(), ...), provided on PHP 7.x by
  symfony/polyfill-php80. Mozart bundles its bootstrap.php, but it's
  normally loaded through Composer's "files" autoloading, which doesn't
  apply to the bundled libraries, so src/polyfills.php loads it.
- Since 7.15, Utils::jsonEncode(), which the generated API client uses for
  every request body, calls symfony/deprecation-contracts'
  trigger_deprecation(). Mozart doesn't bundle it and releases don't ship
  dev dependencies, so every API request would fatal: src/polyfills.php
  defines it (a silenced E_USER_DEPRECATED) when it doesn't exist.
- Constrain the symfony/deprecation-contracts dev dependency to ^2.5: v3
  requires PHP 8.1 and its trigger_deprecation() fatals on PHP 7.4 in CI.

Since Guzzle 7.15, Utils::jsonEncode() is deprecated and reports each call
through the global trigger_deprecation(). The generated API client called
it for every request body, so if another plugin had loaded
symfony/deprecation-contracts v3 (PHP 8.1+) unprefixed, every API request
fataled on PHP 7.x ("must be an instance of mixed"). Use
ObjectSerializer::jsonEncode() instead, which behaves the same; a test
fails when a regenerated client calls Guzzle's JSON helpers again. Normal
API requests now trigger no deprecations at all.

Guzzle 7.15 also rejects non-ASCII hosts before sending a request, where
cURL used to convert them. Convert a self-hosted domain like
plausible.müller.de to punycode (plausible.xn--mller-kva.de), with ext-intl
or else the Requests library bundled with WordPress.

Match imported Utils calls in the regeneration test.

If a regenerated API imports Guzzle’s Utils and calls Utils::jsonEncode() or Utils::jsonDecode(), the current pattern does not match the call, so the safeguard passes. The current generated API uses ObjectSerializer::jsonEncode(); this is a coverage gap, not a currently failing assertion. testJsonEncode() tests serializer behavior, not generated API calls.

@Dan0sz Dan0sz mentioned this pull request Oct 7, 2026
idn_to_ascii() with IDNA_DEFAULT uses transitional processing on older ICU
versions, which maps deviation characters like ß to ss: faß.de became
fass.de, a different domain that may reach another server. Use
IDNA_NONTRANSITIONAL_TO_ASCII, like browsers and registries, so it's
xn--fa-hia.de regardless of the ICU version (the Requests fallback already
kept ß).
