Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2026-54673

high Nessus Plugin ID 325147

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.

 - electron-updater allows for automatic updates for Electron apps. Prior to 9.7.0, the HTTP redirect handler (HttpExecutor.prepareRedirectUrlOptions) only stripped a credential header whose key string matched exactly lowercase authorization, exposing credentials. Other credential-bearing headers most notably PRIVATE-TOKEN (used by GitLab's personal access token flow) and mixed-case Authorization (used by GitLab's Bearer/OAuth flow) were not stripped and could be forwarded to an attacker-controlled cross-origin redirect destination. This issue has been fixed in version 9.7.0. (CVE-2026-54673)

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

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
