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

  - Vega is a visualization grammar, a declarative format for creating, saving, and sharing interactive     visualization designs. In Vega prior to version 6.2.0, applications meeting 2 conditions are at risk of     arbitrary JavaScript code execution, even if safe mode expressionInterpreter is used. They are     vulnerable if they use `vega` in an application that attaches `vega` library and a `vega.View` instance     similar to the Vega Editor to the global `window` and if they allow user-defined Vega `JSON` definitions     (vs JSON that was is only provided through source code). Patches are available in the following Vega     applications. If using the latest Vega line (6.x), upgrade to `vega` `6.2.0` / `vega-expression` `6.1.0` /     `vega-interpreter` `2.2.1` (if using AST evaluator mode). If using Vega in a non-ESM environment, upgrade     to `vega-expression` `5.2.1` / `1.2.1` (if using AST evaluator mode). Some workarounds are available. Do     not attach `vega` View instances to global variables, and do not attach `vega` to the global window. These     practices of attaching the vega library and View instances may be convenient for debugging, but should not     be used in production or in any situation where vega/vega-lite definitions could be provided by untrusted     parties. (CVE-2025-59840)

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