SCA: security update for slim/slim (GHSA-53h4-8rc4-f539)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 443841

Description

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

 - Slim is a PHP micro framework that enables users to write simple web applications and APIs. In versions
 4.4.0 through 4.15, if an application uses HttpException::setTitle() and/or setDescription() to include
 untrusted/request-derived data in the error title or description (e.g. "No products found matching
 '{$query}'."), an attacker could inject arbitrary HTML/JavaScript that executes in the victim's browser
 when they encounter an HTML error page generated by Slim. The vulnerability is present even with
 displayErrorDetails = false as the unescaped title and description are rendered on this error path. Built-
 in exceptions (HttpNotFoundException, HttpBadRequestException, etc.) ship plain-text defaults, so a
 vanilla Slim app with no user code is not exploitable. Only applications that feed untrusted data into
 setTitle() and/or setDescription() are affected. The issue has been fixed in 4.15.2. If developers are
 unable to immediately update their applications, they can work around this issue by avoiding passing
 untrusted/request-derived data into HttpException::setTitle() and setDescription() and using static,
 plain-text error copy instead. They should also register a custom error renderer (an
 ErrorRendererInterface implementation, or a subclass of HtmlErrorRenderer that escapes the title and
 description) for the HTML media type. (CVE-2026-48157)

Solution

Update the slim/slim library and its related packages to version 4.15.2 or later.
