SCA: security update for Maikuolan/phpMussel, phpmussel/phpmussel (GHSA-qr95-4mq5-r3fh)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 418293

Description

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

 - phpMussel from versions 1.0.0 and less than 1.6.0 has an unserialization vulnerability in PHP's phar
 wrapper. Uploading a specially crafted file to an affected version allows arbitrary code execution
 (discovered, tested, and confirmed by myself), so the risk factor should be regarded as very high. Newer
 phpMussel versions don't use PHP's phar wrapper, and are therefore unaffected. This has been fixed in
 version 1.6.0. (CVE-2020-4043)
