Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2026-54430

medium Nessus Plugin ID 324939

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.

 - liboauth2 is vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery in oauth2_jose_jwks_aws_alb_resolve() function. The AWS ALB verifier reads both signer and kid from the unverified JWT header. If signer matches the configured ARN, kid is appended to alb_base_url without URL encoding or path sanitization, and the HTTP GET is issued before signature verification. This allows an attacker to force the server to send a GET request to an attacker-chosen internal path. This issue was fixed in version 2.3.0 (CVE-2026-54430)

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

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
