Description

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

- BookStack before version 0.25.5 has a vulnerability where a user could upload PHP files through image
upload functions, which would allow them to execute code on the host system remotely. They would then have
the permissions of the PHP process. This most impacts scenarios where non-trusted users are given
permission to upload images in any area of the application. The issue was addressed in a series of patches
in versions 0.25.3, 0.25.4 and 0.25.5. Users should upgrade to at least v0.25.5 to avoid this
vulnerability. (CVE-2020-5256)
