SCA: security update for ilicmiljan/secure-props (GHSA-rj29-j2g4-77q8)

low Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 418766

Description

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

- SecureProps is a PHP library designed to simplify the encryption and decryption of property data in
objects. A vulnerability in SecureProps version 1.2.0 and 1.2.1 involves a regex failing to detect tags
during decryption of encrypted data. This occurs when the encrypted data has been encoded with
`NullEncoder` and passed to `TagAwareCipher`, and contains special characters such as `\n`. As a result,
the decryption process is skipped since the tags are not detected. This causes the encrypted data to be
returned in plain format. The vulnerability affects users who implement `TagAwareCipher` with any base
cipher that has `NullEncoder` (not default). The patch for the issue has been released. Users are advised
to update to version 1.2.2. As a workaround, one may use the default `Base64Encoder` with the base cipher
decorated with `TagAwareCipher` to prevent special characters in the encrypted string from interfering
with regex tag detection logic. This workaround is safe but may involve double encoding since
`TagAwareCipher` uses `NullEncoder` by default. (CVE-2024-28864)
