SCA: security update for backpack/crud (GHSA-mrc5-3mm3-45c5)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 446138

Description

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

 - backpack/crud provides Create, Read, Update & Delete (CRUD) functions for Backpack, a collection of
 Laravel packages that help users build custom administration panels. Prior to 4.1.70, 5.6.2, 6.8.13, and
 7.0.36, Backpack\CRUD\Stats::makeCurlRequest in src/Stats.php is reached from
 BackpackServiceProvider::boot() and constructs a shell command with a URL influenced by the HTTP Host
 header, which it passes to exec() without adequate shell neutralization. An unauthenticated attacker whose
 malformed Host value reaches PHP can inject operating-system commands when exec() and curl are available
 and the 1-in-100 random gate is reached. Repeated requests can reach the random gate. Successful
 exploitation executes commands as the web-server user, exposing environment secrets, files, and reachable
 services and permitting data modification or service disruption. Common reverse-proxy Host validation and
 hardened PHP configurations that disable exec() reduce reachability but do not correct the vulnerable
 construction. This issue is fixed in versions 4.1.70, 5.6.2, 6.8.13, and 7.0.36. (CVE-2026-54182)

Solution

Update the backpack/crud library and its related packages to version 4.1.72 or later.
