SCA: security update for codeigniter4/framework (GHSA-6cq5-8cj7-g558)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 411378

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- CodeIgniter is a PHP full-stack web framework. When an application uses (1) multiple session cookies
(e.g., one for user pages and one for admin pages) and (2) a session handler is set to `DatabaseHandler`,
`MemcachedHandler`, or `RedisHandler`, then if an attacker gets one session cookie (e.g., one for user
pages), they may be able to access pages that require another session cookie (e.g., for admin pages). This
issue has been patched, please upgrade to version 4.2.11 or later. As a workaround, use only one session
cookie. (CVE-2022-46170)
