low Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 421292

Description

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

 - veraPDF is an open source PDF/A validation library. Executing policy checks using custom schematron files
 via the CLI invokes an XSL transformation that may theoretically lead to a remote code execution (RCE)
 vulnerability. This doesn't affect the standard validation and policy checks functionality, veraPDF's
 common use cases. Most veraPDF users don't insert any custom XSLT code into policy profiles, which are
 based on Schematron syntax rather than direct XSL transforms. For users who do, only load custom policy
 files from sources you trust. This issue has not yet been patched. Users are advised to be cautious of
 XSLT code until a patch is available. (CVE-2024-52800)
