SCA: security update for craftcms/cms (GHSA-2xfc-g69j-x2mp)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 438294

Description

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

 - Craft is a content management system (CMS). Prior to 4.17.0-beta.1 and 5.9.0-beta.1, the entry creation
 process allows for Mass Assignment of the authorId attribute. A user with "Create Entries" permission can
 inject the authorIds[] (or authorId) parameter into the POST request, which the backend processes without
 verifying if the current user is authorized to assign authorship to others. Normally, this field is not
 present in the request for users without the necessary permissions. By manually adding this parameter, an
 attacker can attribute the new entry to any user, including Admins. This effectively "spoofs" the
 authorship. This vulnerability is fixed in 4.17.0-beta.1 and 5.9.0-beta.1. (CVE-2026-28781)
