SCA: security update for phpoffice/phpspreadsheet (GHSA-jw4x-v69f-hh5w)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 416597

Description

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

 - PhpSpreadsheet is a PHP library for reading and writing spreadsheet files. The XmlScanner class has a scan
 method which should prevent XXE attacks. However, prior to versions 1.9.4, 2.1.3, 2.3.2, and 3.4.0, the
 regexes used in the `scan` method and the findCharSet method can be bypassed by using UCS-4 and encoding
 guessing. An attacker can bypass the sanitizer and achieve an XML external entity attack. Versions 1.9.4,
 2.1.3, 2.3.2, and 3.4.0 fix the issue. (CVE-2024-47873)
