SCA: security update for codeigniter4/framework (GHSA-9952-gv64-x94c)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 428636

Description

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

 - CodeIgniter is a PHP full-stack web framework. A command injection vulnerability present in versions prior
 to 4.6.2 affects applications that use the ImageMagick handler for image processing (`imagick` as the
 image library) and either allow file uploads with user-controlled filenames and process uploaded images
 using the `resize()` method or use the `text()` method with user-controlled text content or options. An
 attacker can upload a file with a malicious filename containing shell metacharacters that get executed
 when the image is processed or provide malicious text content or options that get executed when adding
 text to images Users should upgrade to v4.6.2 or later to receive a patch. As a workaround, switch to the
 GD image handler (`gd`, the default handler), which is not affected by either vulnerability. For file
 upload scenarios, instead of using user-provided filenames, generate random names to eliminate the attack
 vector with `getRandomName()` when using the `move()` method, or use the `store()` method, which
 automatically generates safe filenames. For text operations, if one must use ImageMagick with user-
 controlled text, sanitize the input to only allow safe characters and validate/restrict text options.
