high Nessus Plugin ID 377562

Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote Fedora 43 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the FEDORA-2026-f2a72b9a61 advisory.

 ### Version 2.11.1 - 2026-10-30

 * Added a warning when the cache dir is on a Windows drive while running in WSL, as this makes filesystem operations very slow (#13175)
 * Fixed GitLab CI job tokens failing to authenticate against the GitLab Composer package registry, which requires HTTP Basic auth rather than the `JOB-TOKEN` header (#13180)
 * Fixed every update aborting with a `SecurityException` when a PHP extension reports a name that is not a valid platform package name (#13184)
 * Fixed `require` and `remove` dropping empty `require`/`require-dev`/`repositories` keys from composer.json when the command had not emptied them itself (#13178)
 * Fixed a PHP 8.6 deprecation warning from composer/ca-bundle (8bf8c27)
 * Fixed invalid `custom-headers` auth entries being sent as-is, they are now ignored with a warning (#13181)


 ----

 ### Version 2.11.0 - 2026-10-29

 * Security: Fixed package names in `vendor/composer/installed.json` being able to escape the vendor directory during install and reinstall (GHSA-c968-33g3-wh7p)
 * Security: Fixed inline repository HTTP headers, such as API tokens, being written into `composer.lock` (GHSA-fm2w-xgf2-f9fh)
 * Security: Fixed additional arguments passed to `@composer` scripts not being escaped (#13169)
 * Security: Fixed svn passwords not being redacted from debug output (#13171)
 * Security: Sanitize URL-embedded credentials in hg and fossil error output (#13172)
 * Improved dependency resolution performance and memory usage (#13174)
 * Fixed `config` corrupting composer.json when modifying `extra` or `scripts` entries which are JSON arrays (#13167)
 * Fixed archives not being unwrapped correctly when OS/editor metadata entries like `__MACOSX` or `Thumbs.db` sit next to the package's top-level dir (#13168)
 * Fixed `@script` references with quoted arguments being split on spaces when passed to `@composer` scripts (#13169)
