high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 420520
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- October is a free, open-source, self-hosted CMS platform based on the Laravel PHP Framework. In October
before version 1.1.2, when running on poorly configured servers (i.e. the server routes any request,
regardless of the HOST header to an October CMS instance) the potential exists for Host Header Poisoning
attacks to succeed. This has been addressed in version 1.1.2 by adding a feature to allow a set of trusted
hosts to be specified in the application. As a workaround one may set the configuration setting
cms.linkPolicy to force. (CVE-2021-21265)
