Insufficient input escaping was applied to the PHP unit webrunner admin tool.
NOTE: It is important to note that this update is only flagged as a precautionary measure, as it may provide limited CLI access to Moodle site admins. This may be considered a security risk in circumstances where admins do not ordinarily have access to the server CLI and/or in some hosting situations where site admins are not considered trusted users. This tool will also be removed entirely from Moodle 3.9.

X-Forwarded-For headers could be used to spoof a user's IP, in order to bypass remote address checks.
PATCH NOTE: For user IPs to be checked (and logged) accurately after this patch is applied, sites using multiple levels of reverse proxies/balancers that append to the X-Forwarded-For header will need to configure the new "reverseproxyignore" setting. This ensures the IPs of the later proxies are ignored in favour of the user's IP.
