Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

  - zot is a production-ready vendor-neutral OCI image registry. The group data stored for users in the boltdb
    database (meta.db) is an append-list so group revocations/removals are ignored in the API. SetUserGroups
    is alled on login, but instead of replacing the group memberships, they are appended. This may be due to
    some conflict with the group definitions in the config file, but that wasn't obvious to me if it were the
    case. Any Zot configuration that relies on group-based authorization will not respect group
    remove/revocation by an IdP. This issue has been addressed in version 2.1.2. All users are advised to
    upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability. (CVE-2025-23208)
