high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 410865

Description

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

- Shield is an authentication and authorization framework for CodeIgniter 4. This vulnerability may allow
[SameSite Attackers](https://canitakeyoursubdomain.name/) to bypass the [CodeIgniter4 CSRF
protection](https://codeigniter4.github.io/userguide/libraries/security.html) mechanism with CodeIgniter
Shield. For this attack to succeed, the attacker must have direct (or indirect, e.g., XSS) control over a
subdomain site (e.g., `https://a.example.com/`) of the target site (e.g., `http://example.com/`). Upgrade
to **CodeIgniter v4.2.3 or later** and **Shield v1.0.0-beta.2 or later**. As a workaround: set
`Config\Security::$csrfProtection` to `'session,'`remove old session data right after login (immediately
after ID and password match) and regenerate CSRF token right after login (immediately after ID and
password match) (CVE-2022-35943)
