SCA: security update for backpack/crud (GHSA-8hw4-7qjr-3wxg)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 446173

Description

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

 - backpack/crud provides Create, Read, Update & Delete (CRUD) functions for Backpack, a collection of
 Laravel packages that help users build custom administration panels. From 6.0.0 until 6.8.14 and 7.0.37,
 the src/app/Library/Uploaders/SingleBase64Image.php methods SingleBase64Image::uploadFiles and
 SingleBase64Image::uploadRepeatableFiles, used by image fields through withFiles(), accept any data URI
 beginning with data:image without validating the declared MIME subtype or decoded bytes, while
 src/app/Library/Uploaders/Support/FileNameGenerator.php method FileNameGenerator::getExtensionFromFile
 applies mime_content_type() to the data URI instead of the decoded content. An authenticated administrator
 can therefore store arbitrary file content under an extensionless filename on the configured disk, which
 can cause stored cross-site scripting or other unintended behavior when the file is served and accessed.
 This issue is fixed in version 7.0.38 and 6.8.14. (CVE-2026-54179)

Solution

Update the backpack/crud library and its related packages to version 6.8.14 or later.
