SCA: security update for privatebin/privatebin (GHSA-g2j9-g8r5-rg82)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 436069

Description

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

 - PrivateBin is an online pastebin where the server has zero knowledge of pasted data. Starting in version
 1.7.7 and prior to version 2.0.3, an unauthenticated Local File Inclusion exists in the template-switching
 feature. If `templateselection` is enabled in the configuration, the server trusts the `template` cookie
 and includes the referenced PHP file. An attacker can read sensitive data or, if they manage to drop a PHP
 file elsewhere, gain remote code execution. The constructed path of the template file is checked for
 existence, then included. For PrivateBin project files this does not leak any secrets due to data files
 being created with PHP code that prevents execution, but if a configuration file without that line got
 created or the visitor figures out the relative path to a PHP script that directly performs an action
 without appropriate privilege checking, those might execute or leak information. The issue has been
 patched in version 2.0.3. As a workaround, set `templateselection = false` (which is the default) in
 `cfg/conf.php` or remove it entirely (CVE-2025-64714)
