DOMPurify 3.0.0 before 3.4.9 does not reset the retained Trusted Types policy when clearConfig() is called, so a DOMPurify instance reused across trust boundaries stays bound to a previously supplied TRUSTED_TYPES_POLICY. A later caller that requests RETURN_TRUSTED_TYPE output receives a TrustedHTML object created by the old (potentially unsafe) policy rather than a clean default, which can lead to script execution at a Trusted Types sink. Passing TRUSTED_TYPES_POLICY: null on the later call also does not clear the retained policy.

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

  - DOMPurify 3.0.0 before 3.4.9 does not reset the retained Trusted Types policy when clearConfig() is     called, so a DOMPurify instance reused across trust boundaries stays bound to a previously supplied     TRUSTED_TYPES_POLICY. A later caller that requests RETURN_TRUSTED_TYPE output receives a TrustedHTML     object created by the old (potentially unsafe) policy rather than a clean default, which can lead to     script execution at a Trusted Types sink. Passing TRUSTED_TYPES_POLICY: null on the later call also does     not clear the retained policy. (CVE-2026-65899)

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