Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2026-23919

high Nessus Plugin ID 304003

Language:

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.

 - For performance reasons Zabbix Server/Proxy reuses JavaScript (Duktape) contexts (used in script items, JavaScript reprocessing, Webhooks). This can lead to confidentiality loss where a regular (non-super) Zabbix administrator leaks data for hosts they do not have access to. A fix has been released that makes the built in Zabbix JavaScript objects read-only, but please be advised that usage of global JavaScript variables is not recommended because their content could be leaked. More information <a href='https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/7.4/en/manual/installation/known_issues#preprocessing-global- variables-are-unsafe'>in Zabbix documentation</a>. (CVE-2026-23919)

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

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
