Legs are not required!
======================

[](#legs-are-not-required)

Security issue proof of concept.

It uses a well-known plugin `kylekatarnls/update-helper` to do some nasty stuff. Being required, this package outputs welcome message ("Legs are not required") and deletes root `autoload.php`.

[![Legs are not required](media/legs.webp?raw=true "Das not good")](media/legs.webp?raw=true)

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
composer require o-rey/legs

```
