SCA: security update for ci4-cms-erp/ci4ms (GHSA-245j-xjvr-xvm5)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 442075

Description

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

- CI4MS is a CodeIgniter 4-based content management system skeleton. Prior to version 0.31.9.0, the
Fileeditor module enforces an extension allowlist (`['css','js','html','txt','json','sql','md']`) on
content-write operations (`saveFile`, `createFile`), but two destructive endpoints — `deleteFileOrFolder`
and `renameFile` — never validate the extension of the *source* path. A backend user with file-editor
permissions can therefore unlink or rename any file inside the project root that is not explicitly listed
in the small `$hiddenItems` blocklist. Critical framework files such as `app/Config/Routes.php`,
`app/Config/App.php`, `app/Config/Database.php`, `app/Config/Filters.php`, `public/index.php`, and
`public/.htaccess` all live outside that blocklist and can be destroyed, producing a persistent denial of
service that requires filesystem-level redeployment to recover. Version 0.31.9.0 patches the issue.
(CVE-2026-45139)

Solution

Update the ci4-cms-erp/ci4ms library and its related packages to version 0.31.9.0 or later.
