SCA: security update for robrichards/xmlseclibs (GHSA-4v26-v6cg-g6f9)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 438793

Description

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

 - xmlseclibs is a library written in PHP for working with XML Encryption and Signatures. Prior to 3.1.5, XML
 nodes encrypted with either aes-128-gcm, aes-192-gcm, or aes-256-gcm lack validation of the authentication
 tag length. An attacker can use this to brute-force an authentication tag, recover the GHASH key, and
 decrypt the encrypted nodes. It also allows to forge arbitrary ciphertexts without knowing the encryption
 key. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.1.5. (CVE-2026-32313)

Solution

Update the robrichards/xmlseclibs library and its related packages to version 3.1.5 or later.
