Comment:

 Closing this as fixed. There was a release today of the package, so there
 should be no more prior tot he 6.9 release.

 I've also gone and backported both the `1.5.8` and `1.5.9` updates all the
 way back to the 4.7 branch. These updates will be shipped if a security
 release is deemed necessary for each branch.

 For future reference, backporting to WP <= 6.7 requires a bit of extra
 considerations for a few reasons:
 - The `composer.json` file does not list the `composer/ca-bundle`
 dependency
 - The `src/wp-includes/certificates/cacert.pem` file is not committed to
 version control.

 Because of this, `svn merge -c 60691,61146 '^/trunk'` fails. This is what
 worked for me:

 `svn merge --accept working -c 60691,61146 '^/trunk' && svn revert
 composer.json`.

 The `ca-bundle.crt` files in each branch are identical, so we can assume
 there will only be conflicts in `composer.json` and `cacert.pem`. The
 `--accept working` uses the state of `cacert.pem` for the working copy,
 and then this just reverts the `composer.json` file manually.
