Package: phpsysinfo
Version: 3.2.5-3
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

The version of phpSysInfo shipped in Debian is very old, and in turn bundles a 
very
old version of jQuery (1.12.4). Rather than upgrade to a recent jQuery - which 
would
allow for using libjs-jquery instead - upstream has decided to backport fixes 
for at
least some of these CVEs, as seen in
<https://github.com/phpsysinfo/phpsysinfo/commit/7fece46f79135d0a850fbda92c277684cd5596d4>
and elsewhere.

Please consider upgrading the package to the most recent upstream version so 
Debian
users can benefit from these fixes and others. In lieu of that, please upgrade 
the
bundled jQuery libs, which appear to have been quite heavily patched by upstream
over the years.

I'm also wondering whether the existing dependency on libjs-jquery is actually 
needed,
as it does not seem to actually be used. Presumably a modern day jQuery version 
would
not work with phpSysInfo if it needs such ancient versions, at least not 
without jQuery
Migrate being involved, which is presumably an upstream job and outside the 
scope
of package maintenance.

Thanks.
