SCA: security update for studio-42/elfinder (GHSA-8q4h-8crm-5cvc)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 440595

Description

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

- elFinder is an open-source file manager for web, written in JavaScript using jQuery UI. Prior to 2.1.67,
elFinder contains a command injection vulnerability in the resize command. The bg (background color)
parameter is accepted from user input and passed through image resize/rotate processing. In configurations
that use the ImageMagick CLI backend, this value is incorporated into shell command strings without
sufficient escaping. An attacker able to invoke the resize command with a crafted bg value may achieve
arbitrary command execution as the web server process user. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.1.67.
(CVE-2026-41247)

Solution

Update the studio-42/elfinder library and its related packages to version 2.1.67 or later.
