SCA: security update for react/http (GHSA-95x4-j7vc-h8mf)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 413066

Description

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

 - react/http is an event-driven, streaming HTTP client and server implementation for ReactPHP. Previous
 versions of ReactPHP's HTTP server component contain a potential DoS vulnerability that can cause high CPU
 load when processing large HTTP request bodies. This vulnerability has little to no impact on the default
 configuration, but can be exploited when explicitly using the RequestBodyBufferMiddleware with very large
 settings. This might lead to consuming large amounts of CPU time for processing requests and significantly
 delay or slow down the processing of legitimate user requests. This issue has been addressed in release
 1.9.0. Users are advised to upgrade. Users unable to upgrade may keep the request body limited using
 RequestBodyBufferMiddleware with a sensible value which should mitigate the issue. An infrastructure or
 DevOps workaround could be to place a reverse proxy in front of the ReactPHP HTTP server to filter out any
 excessive HTTP request bodies. (CVE-2023-26044)
