Upgrade secure_headers to version 6.2.0, 5.1.0, 3.8.0 or higher.

Overview

secure_headers is a library that manages application of security headers with many safe defaults.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Command Injection. If user-supplied input was passed into append/override_content_security_policy_directives, a semicolon could be injected and used to override a script directive, leading to command injection.
