SCA: security update for getformwork/formwork (GHSA-34p4-7w83-35g2)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 437889

Description

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

 - Formwork is a flat file-based Content Management System (CMS). In versions 2.0.0 through 2.3.3, the
 application fails to properly enforce role-based authorization during account creation. Although the
 system validates that the specified role exists, it does not verify whether the current user has
 sufficient privileges to assign highly privileged roles such as admin. As a result, an authenticated user
 with the editor role can create a new account with administrative privileges, leading to full
 administrative access and complete compromise of the CMS. This issue has been fixed in version 2.3.4.
 (CVE-2026-27198)
