Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2025-68157

low Nessus Plugin ID 298272

Synopsis

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed with a vulnerability that the vendor indicates will not be patched.

Description

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

- Webpack is a module bundler. From version 5.49.0 to before 5.104.0, when experiments.buildHttp is enabled, webpack's HTTP(S) resolver (HttpUriPlugin) enforces allowedUris only for the initial URL, but does not re- validate allowedUris after following HTTP 30x redirects. As a result, an import that appears restricted to a trusted allow-list can be redirected to HTTP(S) URLs outside the allow-list. This is a policy/allow-list bypass that enables build-time SSRF behavior (requests from the build machine to internal-only endpoints, depending on network access) and untrusted content inclusion in build outputs (redirected content is treated as module source and bundled). This issue has been patched in version 5.104.0. (CVE-2025-68157)

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

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
