Comment:

 As previously noted by @costdev and @SergeyBiryukov, the code is guarded
 by `function_exists()` and thus should be protected against running
 `exec()` when the hosting company disables it.

 What about the edge case where `function_exists()` might return `true`. As
 @SergeyBiryukov noted:

 >As also noted in comment:3:ticket:42085, it is possible for the
 `function_exists(`) check to return `true` if Suhosin is in use. However,
 that would be an edge case, as Suhosin was only officially available for
 PHP 5.4 to 5.6, and its development was discontinued in 2015.

 Core bumped the minimum PHP version to 7.0 during 6.3. Suhosin is for PHP
 5, not 7.0.

 I think this ticket can be closed. It seems the issue is likely due to
 something other than Core. Given the age of this ticket and no other
 reports of the same issue, I'll go ahead and close it.

 If however the issue persists today, @alfredo49 please reopen this ticket
 and share any additional information including some of the tips asked
 previously. Any information you can provide is helpful for contributors to
 continue investigating.
