high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 437419

Description

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

 - Signal K Server is a server application that runs on a central hub in a boat. Prior to 1.5.0, a command
 injection vulnerability allows authenticated users with write permissions to execute arbitrary shell
 commands on the Signal K server when the set-system-time plugin is enabled. Unauthenticated users can also
 exploit this vulnerability if security is disabled on the Signal K server. This occurs due to unsafe
 construction of shell commands when processing navigation.datetime values received via WebSocket delta
 messages. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.5.0. (CVE-2026-23515)
