SCA: security update for composer/composer (GHSA-v9qv-c7wm-wgmf)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 419238

Description

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

 - Composer is a dependency manager for PHP. On the 2.x branch prior to versions 2.2.24 and 2.7.7, the
 `composer install` command running inside a git/hg repository which has specially crafted branch names can
 lead to command injection. This requires cloning untrusted repositories. Patches are available in version
 2.2.24 for 2.2 LTS or 2.7.7 for mainline. As a workaround, avoid cloning potentially compromised
 repositories. (CVE-2024-35242)
