SCA: security update for composer/composer (GHSA-725m-w832-q973)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 411731

Description

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

- Composer before 2016-02-10 allows cache poisoning from other projects built on the same host. This results
in attacker-controlled code entering a server-side build process. The issue occurs because of the way that
dist packages are cached. The cache key is derived from the package name, the dist type, and certain other
data from the package repository (which may simply be a commit hash, and thus can be found by an
attacker). Versions through 1.0.0-alpha11 are affected, and 1.0.0 is unaffected. (CVE-2015-8371)
