SCA: security update for mautic/core (GHSA-86pv-95mj-7w5f)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 412485

Description

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

 - Insufficient sanitization / filtering allows for arbitrary JavaScript Injection in Mautic using the bounce
 management callback function. The values submitted in the "error" and "error_related_to" parameters of the
 POST request of the bounce management callback will be permanently stored and executed once the details
 page of an affected lead is opened by a Mautic user. An attacker with access to the bounce management
 callback function (identified with the Mailjet webhook, but it is assumed this will work uniformly across
 all kinds of webhooks) can inject arbitrary JavaScript Code into the "error" and "error_related_to"
 parameters of the POST request (POST /mailer/<product / webhook>/callback). It is noted that there is no
 authentication needed to access this function. The JavaScript Code is stored permanently in the web
 application and executed every time an authenticated user views the details page of a single contact /
 lead in Mautic. This means, arbitrary code can be executed to, e.g., steal or tamper with information.
 (CVE-2021-27910)
