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

  - gittuf is a platform-agnostic Git security system. Prior to 0.14.0, an attacker with push access to     gittuf's Reference State Log (RSL) can roll back the current policy to any previous policy trusted by the     current set of root keys. gittuf determines the policy to load by inspecting the RSL. Except for the very     first policy (which is automatically trusted given gittuf's TOFU model, or verified against manually     specified keys), whenever an RSL entry that points to a new policy is encountered, gittuf validates that     this policy is trusted. This is done by checking that the new policy's root metadata is signed by the     required threshold of the current policy's root keys. Because of this, an attacker with push access to the     RSL may create a new entry that references an old policy (that is trusted by the most recent policy's set     of root keys), thereby rolling back gittuf's policy to the attacker's chosen state. This vulnerability is     fixed in 0.14.0. (CVE-2026-44544)

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