tmp is a temporary file and directory creator for node.js. Prior to 0.2.6, the tmp npm package contains a path traversal vulnerability that allows escaping the intended temporary directory when untrusted data flows into the prefix, postfix, or dir options. By embedding traversal sequences (e.g., ../) or path separators in these parameters, attackers can cause files to be created outside the configured temporary base directory at attacker-controlled locations with the privileges of the running process. This vulnerability affects applications that pass user-controlled data to tmp's file/directory creation functions without proper input sanitization. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.2.6.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 / 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2026:59135 advisory.

    Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform provides an enterprise framework for building, deploying and managing     IT automation at scale. IT Managers can provide top-down guidelines on how automation is applied to     individual teams, while automation developers retain the freedom to write tasks that leverage existing     knowledge without the overhead. Ansible Automation Platform makes it possible for users across an     organization to share, vet, and manage automation content by means of a simple, powerful, and agentless     language.

    Security Fix(es):

    * automation-controller: notification backends allow SSRF and credential leakage (CVE-2026-71366)

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

  - tmp is a temporary file and directory creator for node.js. Prior to 0.2.6, the tmp npm package contains a     path traversal vulnerability that allows escaping the intended temporary directory when untrusted data     flows into the prefix, postfix, or dir options. By embedding traversal sequences (e.g., ../) or path     separators in these parameters, attackers can cause files to be created outside the configured temporary     base directory at attacker-controlled locations with the privileges of the running process. This     vulnerability affects applications that pass user-controlled data to tmp's file/directory creation     functions without proper input sanitization. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.2.6. (CVE-2026-44705)

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