SCA: security update for composer/composer (GHSA-x7cr-6qr6-2hh6)
high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 420352
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- Composer is a dependency manager for the PHP programming language. Integrators using Composer code to call
`VcsDriver::getFileContent` can have a code injection vulnerability if the user can control the `$file` or
`$identifier` argument. This leads to a vulnerability on packagist.org for example where the
composer.json's `readme` field can be used as a vector for injecting parameters into hg/Mercurial via the
`$file` argument, or git via the `$identifier` argument if you allow arbitrary data there (Packagist does
not, but maybe other integrators do). Composer itself should not be affected by the vulnerability as it
does not call `getFileContent` with arbitrary data into `$file`/`$identifier`. To the best of our
knowledge this was not abused, and the vulnerability has been patched on packagist.org and Private
Packagist within a day of the vulnerability report. (CVE-2022-24828)
