SCA: security update for yourls/yourls (GHSA-f8ff-652m-j5rx)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 474723

Description

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

 - YOURLS is a self-hosted, customizable URL shortener written in PHP. Prior to 1.10.5, yourls_get_request()
 extracted the request path without sanitization, after which yourls_sanitize_url() and yourls_esc_url()
 preserved dot and slash traversal sequences before an attacker-controlled keyword reached file_exists()
 and include() under YOURLS_PAGEDIR. An unauthenticated remote attacker could traverse outside the intended
 pages directory and include a local PHP file that was already present on the server, such as an uploaded
 or injected file, causing the file to execute in the YOURLS web process. This issue is fixed in version
 1.10.5. (CVE-2026-62858)

Solution

Update the yourls/yourls library and its related packages to version 1.10.5 or later.
