medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 438143

Description

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

 - Junrar is an open source java RAR archive library. Prior to version 7.5.8, a backslash path traversal
 vulnerability in `LocalFolderExtractor` allows an attacker to write arbitrary files with attacker-
 controlled content anywhere on the filesystem when a crafted RAR archive is extracted on Linux/Unix. This
 can often lead to remote code execution (e.g., overwriting shell profiles, source code, cron jobs, etc).
 Version 7.5.8 has a fix for the issue. (CVE-2026-28208)
