SCA: security update for mautic/core (GHSA-3ggv-qwcp-j6xg)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 435185

Description

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

 - ImpactThe attacker can validate if a user exists by checking the time login returns. This timing
 difference can be used to enumerate valid usernames, after which an attacker could attempt brute force
 attacks. PatchesThis vulnerability has been patched, implementing a timing-safe form login authenticator
 that ensures consistent response times regardless of whether a user exists or not. Technical DetailsThe
 vulnerability was caused by different response times when: * A valid username was provided (password
 hashing occurred) * An invalid username was provided (no password hashing occurred) The fix introduces a
 TimingSafeFormLoginAuthenticator that performs a dummy password hash verification even for non-existent
 users, ensuring consistent timing. WorkaroundsNo workarounds are available. Users should upgrade to the
 patched version. References * https://owasp.org/www-project-web-security-testing-guide/latest/4-
