Description

The remote CentOS Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the zsh-5.8-9.el9 build changelog.

- In zsh before 5.8.1, an attacker can achieve code execution if they control a command output inside the prompt, as demonstrated by a %F argument. This occurs because of recursive PROMPT_SUBST expansion.
