Important: composer security update (Amazon Linux 2023)

Package updates are available for Amazon Linux 2023 that fix the following vulnerabilities: CVE-2026-84361: Composer is a dependency Manager for the PHP language. From 1.0 until 2.2.30 and 2.10.3, a malicious dependency package from a custom Composer repository or an untrusted composer.lock file could set source.type to perforce and source.url to an rsh: or jsh: P4PORT value. When the Perforce p4 client was installed and Composer installed the package from source through composer install or composer update, including --prefer-source, Composer\Util\Perforce passed the address to p4 without validation, causing p4 to run a local command with the privileges of the user or CI account. Packagist.org does not permit Perforce source metadata. This issue is fixed in versions 2.2.30 and 2.10.3. CVE-2026-59944: Package bin path can escape the package directory, bypassing the GHSA-gjfg-22fp-rrxx fix. A malicious or compromised Composer package could, when installed as a dependency, cause Composer to change the permissions of a file outside that package's own directory and to register a runnable vendor/bin command that points at that outside file. This is a path traversal and link following issue. It is not remote code execution, the attacker gains no ability to read or receive your data directly. The risk is that a file which was readable only by its owner, but modifiable by Composer, can be made world readable and executable, which is enough to expose its contents on a shared or multi tenant host. The earlier hardening from GHSA-gjfg-22fp-rrxx can be bypassed, since it only rejected literal .. path segments in a package's declared binaries, and was only applied in a single place during dependency resolution.
