The remote SUSE Linux SLED15 / SLES15 / openSUSE 15 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2022:3486-1 advisory.

  - Cosign is a project under the sigstore organization which aims to make signatures invisible     infrastructure. In versions prior to 1.12.0 a number of vulnerabilities have been found in cosign verify-     blob, where Cosign would successfully verify an artifact when verification should have failed. First a     cosign bundle can be crafted to successfully verify a blob even if the embedded rekorBundle does not     reference the given signature. Second, when providing identity flags, the email and issuer of a     certificate is not checked when verifying a Rekor bundle, and the GitHub Actions identity is never     checked. Third, providing an invalid Rekor bundle without the experimental flag results in a successful     verification. And fourth an invalid transparency log entry will result in immediate success for     verification. Details and examples of these issues can be seen in the GHSA-8gw7-4j42-w388 advisory linked.
    Users are advised to upgrade to 1.12.0. There are no known workarounds for these issues. (CVE-2022-36056)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
