SCA: security update for vufind/vufind (GHSA-wx24-vqrg-m6m5)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 420167

Description

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

- A Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in the /Upgrade/FixConfig route in Open Library
Foundation VuFind 2.0 through 9.1 before 9.1.1 allows a remote attacker to overwrite local configuration
files to gain access to the administrator panel and achieve Remote Code Execution. A mitigating factor is
that it requires the allow_url_include PHP runtime setting to be on, which is off in default
installations. It also requires the /Upgrade route to be exposed, which is exposed by default after
installing VuFind, and is recommended to be disabled by setting autoConfigure to false in config.ini.
(CVE-2024-25738)
