SCA: security update for dweeves/magmi (GHSA-g475-pch5-6wvv)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 414845

Description

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

 - MAGMI versions prior to 0.7.24 are vulnerable to a remote authentication bypass due to allowing default
 credentials in the event there is a database connection failure. A remote attacker can trigger this
 connection failure if the Mysql setting max_connections (default 151) is lower than Apache (or another web
 server) setting MaxRequestWorkers (formerly MaxClients) (default 256). This can be done by sending at
 least 151 simultaneous requests to the Magento website to trigger a "Too many connections" error, then use
 default magmi:magmi basic authentication to remotely bypass authentication. (CVE-2020-5777)
