Prometheus is an open-source monitoring system and time series database. Prior to versions 3.5.3 and 3.11.3, the remote read endpoint (/api/v1/read) does not validate the declared decoded length in a snappy-compressed request body before allocating memory. An unauthenticated attacker can send a small payload that causes a huge heap allocation per request. Under concurrent load this can exhaust available memory and crash the Prometheus process. This issue has been patched in versions 3.5.3 and 3.11.3.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 10 / 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2026:41019 advisory.

    Red Hat Edge Manager (RHEM) provides simple, scalable, and security-focused     management of edge devices and applications. It supports image-mode RHEL and     container workloads that run on Podman/Docker or Kubernetes.

    RHEM is now available as a standalone feature, providing greater flexibility for     edge deployments. In addition to the standalone version, RHEM continues to be     offered as a plugin for the following platforms:

    Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management (RHACM): Extends fleet management to edge     devices.
    Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform (AAP): Integrates edge management with     Ansible automation.

    This integration enables organizations to optimize the management and     orchestration of their fleets of edge devices; whether its thousands of     dispersed retail point-of-sale systems or industrial machinery on remote factory     floors.

    Value for customers and partners:

    * This solution not only helps customers manage thousands of devices but helps     scale operations.
    * To manage large-scale deployments, customers need to be able to integrate with     their existing management systems, support remote configuration and over-the-air     updates, and collect telemetry data for advanced analytics.
    * Red Hat Edge Manager offers a simple and security-focused lifecycle     management, from onboarding to decommissioning of edge devices.

    This complete end-to-end solution empowers organizations to gain the most value     from the fleets of devices that generate data, all from a centralized location.

    Arithmetic over induction variables in loops were not correctly checked for underflow or overflow in the     Go compiler (cmd/compile). As a result, the compiler would allow for invalid indexing to occur at runtime,     potentially leading to memory corruption in programs compiled with affected Go versions. (CVE-2026-27143)

    The Go compiler (cmd/compile) incorrectly handled no-op interface conversions, preventing correct     determination about non-overlapping memory moves, potentially leading to memory corruption at runtime in     programs compiled with affected Go versions. (CVE-2026-27144)

    During chain building, the amount of work that is done is not correctly limited when a large number of     intermediate certificates are passed in VerifyOptions.Intermediates, which can lead to a denial of     service. This affects both direct users of crypto/x509 and users of crypto/tls. (CVE-2026-32280)

    Validating certificate chains which use policies is unexpectedly inefficient when certificates in the     chain contain a very large number of policy mappings, possibly causing denial of service. This only     affects validation of otherwise trusted certificate chains, issued by a root CA in the VerifyOptions.Roots     CertPool, or in the system certificate pool. (CVE-2026-32281)

    On Linux, if the target of Root.Chmod is replaced with a symlink while the chmod operation is in progress,     Chmod can operate on the target of the symlink, even when the target lies outside the root.
    (CVE-2026-32282)

    If one side of the TLS connection sends multiple key update messages post-handshake in a single record,     the connection can deadlock, causing uncontrolled consumption of resources. This can lead to a denial of     service. This only affects TLS 1.3. (CVE-2026-32283)

    Boolean XPath expressions that evaluate to true can cause an infinite loop in logicalQuery.Select, leading     to 100% CPU usage. This can be triggered by top-level selectors such as 1=1 or true().
    (CVE-2026-32287)

    tar.Reader can allocate an unbounded amount of memory when reading a maliciously-crafted archive     containing a large number of sparse regions encoded in the old GNU sparse map format. (CVE-2026-32288)

    Context was not properly tracked across template branches for JS template literals, leading to possibly     incorrect escaping of content. This could cause actions within JS template literals to be incorrectly     escaped, leading to XSS vulnerabilities. (CVE-2026-32289)

    When using LookupCNAME with the cgo DNS resolver, a very long CNAME response can trigger a double-free of     C memory and a crash. (CVE-2026-33811)

    When processing HTTP/2 SETTINGS frames, transport will enter an infinite loop of writing CONTINUATION     frames if it receives a SETTINGS_MAX_FRAME_SIZE with a value of 0. (CVE-2026-33814)

    Well-crafted inputs reaching ParseAddress, ParseAddressList, and ParseDate were able to trigger excessive     CPU exhaustion and memory allocations. (CVE-2026-39820)

    CVE-2026-27142 fixed a vulnerability in which URLs were not correctly escaped inside of a <meta> tag's     <content> attribute. If the URL content were to insert ASCII whitespaces around the '=' rune inside of the     <content> attribute, the escaper would fail to similarly escape it, leading to XSS. (CVE-2026-39823)

    ReverseProxy can forward queries containing parameters not visible to Rewrite functions. When used with a     Rewrite function, or a Director function which parses query parameters, ReverseProxy sanitizes the     forwarded request to remove query parameters which are not parsed by url.ParseQuery. ReverseProxy does not     take ParseQuery's limit on the total number of query parameters (controlled by     GODEBUG=urlmaxqueryparams=N) into account. This can permit ReverseProxy to forward a request containing a     query parameter that is not visible to the Rewrite function. For example, the query     a1=x&a2=x&...&a10000=x&hidden=y can forward the parameter hidden=y while hiding it from the proxy's     Rewrite function. (CVE-2026-39825)

    If a trusted template author were to write a <script> tag containing an empty 'type' attribute or a 'type'     attribute with an ASCII whitespace, the execution of the template would incorrectly escape any data passed     into the <script> block. (CVE-2026-39826)

    OpenTelemetry-Go is the Go implementation of OpenTelemetry. Prior to 1.43.0, the otlp HTTP exporters     (traces/metrics/logs) read the full HTTP response body into an in-memory bytes.Buffer without a size cap.
    This is exploitable for memory exhaustion when the configured collector endpoint is attacker-controlled     (or a network attacker can mitm the exporter connection). This vulnerability is fixed in 1.43.0.
    (CVE-2026-39882)

    Integer Overflow or Wraparound vulnerability in Apache Thrift TFramedTransport Go language implementation

    This issue affects Apache Thrift: before 0.23.0.

    Users are recommended to upgrade to version 0.23.0, which fixes the issue. (CVE-2026-41602)

    Prometheus is an open-source monitoring system and time series database. Prior to versions 3.5.3 and     3.11.3, the remote read endpoint (/api/v1/read) does not validate the declared decoded length in a snappy-     compressed request body before allocating memory. An unauthenticated attacker can send a small payload     that causes a huge heap allocation per request. Under concurrent load this can exhaust available memory     and crash the Prometheus process. This issue has been patched in versions 3.5.3 and 3.11.3.
    (CVE-2026-42154)

    Pathological inputs could cause DoS through consumePhrase when parsing an email address according to RFC     5322. (CVE-2026-42499)

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

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

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2026-1747 advisory.

    Arithmetic over induction variables in loops were not correctly checked for underflow or overflow in the     Go compiler (cmd/compile). As a result, the compiler would allow for invalid indexing to occur at runtime,     potentially leading to memory corruption in programs compiled with affected Go versions. (CVE-2026-27143)

    The Go compiler (cmd/compile) incorrectly handled no-op interface conversions, preventing correct     determination about non-overlapping memory moves, potentially leading to memory corruption at runtime in     programs compiled with affected Go versions. (CVE-2026-27144)

    During chain building, the amount of work that is done is not correctly limited when a large number of     intermediate certificates are passed in VerifyOptions.Intermediates, which can lead to a denial of     service. This affects both direct users of crypto/x509 and users of crypto/tls. (CVE-2026-32280)

    Validating certificate chains which use policies is unexpectedly inefficient when certificates in the     chain contain a very large number of policy mappings, possibly causing denial of service. This only     affects validation of otherwise trusted certificate chains, issued by a root CA in the VerifyOptions.Roots     CertPool, or in the system certificate pool. (CVE-2026-32281)

    On Linux, if the target of Root.Chmod is replaced with a symlink while the chmod operation is in progress,     Chmod can operate on the target of the symlink, even when the target lies outside the root.
    (CVE-2026-32282)

    If one side of the TLS connection sends multiple key update messages post-handshake in a single record,     the connection can deadlock, causing uncontrolled consumption of resources. This can lead to a denial of     service. This only affects TLS 1.3. (CVE-2026-32283)

    Boolean XPath expressions that evaluate to true can cause an infinite loop in logicalQuery.Select, leading     to 100% CPU usage. This can be triggered by top-level selectors such as 1=1 or true().

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

  - Prometheus is an open-source monitoring system and time series database. Prior to versions 3.5.3 and
    3.11.3, the remote read endpoint (/api/v1/read) does not validate the declared decoded length in a snappy-
    compressed request body before allocating memory. An unauthenticated attacker can send a small payload
    that causes a huge heap allocation per request. Under concurrent load this can exhaust available memory
    and crash the Prometheus process. This issue has been patched in versions 3.5.3 and 3.11.3.
    (CVE-2026-42154)

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:

  - Prometheus is an open-source monitoring system and time series database. Versions 3.0 through 3.5.1 and
    3.6.0 through 3.11.1 have stored cross-site scripting vulnerabilities in multiple components of the
    Prometheus web UI where metric names and label values are injected into innerHTML without escaping. In
    both the Mantine UI and old React UI, chart tooltips on the Graph page render metric names containing
    HTML/JavaScript without sanitization. In the old React UI, the Metric Explorer fuzzy search results use
    dangerouslySetInnerHTML without escaping, and heatmap cell tooltips interpolate le label values without
    sanitization. With Prometheus v3.x defaulting to UTF-8 metric and label name validation, characters like
    <, >, and " are now valid in metric names and labels. An attacker who can inject metrics via a compromised
    scrape target, remote write, or OTLP receiver endpoint can execute arbitrary JavaScript in the browser of
    any Prometheus user who views the metric in the Graph UI, potentially enabling configuration exfiltration,
    data deletion, or Prometheus shutdown depending on enabled flags. This issue has been fixed in versions
    3.5.2 and 3.11.2. If developers are unable to immediately update, the following workarounds are
    recommended: ensure that the remote write receiver (--web.enable-remote-write-receiver) and the OTLP
    receiver (--web.enable-otlp-receiver) are not exposed to untrusted sources; verify that all scrape targets
    are trusted and not under attacker control; avoid enabling admin or mutating API endpoints (e.g.,
    --web.enable-admin-api or --web.enable-lifecycle) in environments where untrusted data may be ingested;
    and refrain from clicking untrusted links, particularly those containing functions such as label_replace,
    as they may generate poisoned label names and values. (CVE-2026-40179)

  - Prometheus is an open-source monitoring system and time series database. Prior to versions 3.5.3 and
    3.11.3, the client_secret field in the Azure AD remote write OAuth configuration (storage/remote/azuread)
    was typed as string instead of Secret. Prometheus redacts fields of type Secret when serving the
    configuration via the /-/config HTTP API endpoint. Because the field was a plain string, the Azure OAuth
    client secret was exposed in plaintext to any user or process with access to that endpoint. This issue has
    been patched in versions 3.5.3 and 3.11.3. (CVE-2026-42151)
