SCA: security update for silverstripe/graphql (GHSA-v23w-pppm-jh66)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 419007

Description

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

 - silverstripe-graphql is a package which serves Silverstripe data in GraphQL representations. An attacker
 could use a recursive graphql query to execute a Distributed Denial of Service attack (DDOS attack)
 against a website. This mostly affects websites with publicly exposed graphql schemas. If your
 Silverstripe CMS project does not expose a public facing graphql schema, a user account is required to
 trigger the DDOS attack. If your site is hosted behind a content delivery network (CDN), such as Imperva
 or CloudFlare, this may further mitigate the risk. This issue has been addressed in versions 3.8.2, 4.1.3,
 4.2.5, 4.3.4, and 5.0.3. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this
 vulnerability. (CVE-2023-40180)
