SCA: security update for phpoffice/phpspreadsheet (GHSA-5gpr-w2p5-6m37)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 410831

Description

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

 - PHPSpreadsheet is a pure PHP library for reading and writing spreadsheet files. It's possible for an
 attacker to construct an XLSX file which links media from external URLs. When opening the XLSX file,
 PhpSpreadsheet retrieves the image size and type by reading the file contents, if the provided path is a
 URL. By using specially crafted `php://filter` URLs an attacker can leak the contents of any file or URL.
 Note that this vulnerability is different from GHSA-w9xv-qf98-ccq4, and resides in a different component.
 An attacker can access any file on the server, or leak information form arbitrary URLs, potentially
 exposing sensitive information such as AWS IAM credentials. This issue has been addressed in release
 versions 1.29.2, 2.1.1, and 2.3.0. All users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for
 this vulnerability. (CVE-2024-45290)
