The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - jquery prior to 1.9.0 allows Cross-site Scripting attacks via the load method. The load method fails to     recognize and remove <script> HTML tags that contain a whitespace character, i.e: </script >, which     results in the enclosed script logic to be executed. (CVE-2020-7656)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.
