The remote Debian 11 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-5291 advisory.

    Multiple security issues were discovered in MuJS, a lightweight JavaScript interpreter, which could result     in denial of service and potentially the execution of arbitrary code. For the stable distribution     (bullseye), these problems have been fixed in version 1.1.0-1+deb11u2. We recommend that you upgrade your     mujs packages.
