SCA: security update for phpfastcache/phpfastcache (GHSA-cvh5-p6r6-g2qc)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 414105

Description

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

 - PhpFastCache is a high-performance backend cache system (packagist package phpfastcache/phpfastcache). In
 versions before 6.1.5, 7.1.2, and 8.0.7 the `phpinfo()` can be exposed if the `/vendor` is not protected
 from public access. This is a rare situation today since the vendor directory is often located outside the
 web directory or protected via server rule (.htaccess, etc). Only the v6, v7 and v8 will be patched
 respectively in 8.0.7, 7.1.2, 6.1.5. Older versions such as v5, v4 are not longer supported and will
 **NOT** be patched. As a workaround, protect the `/vendor` directory from public access. (CVE-2021-37704)
