Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2026-81525

high Nessus Plugin ID 341317

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.

 - The MongoDB client library for PHP does not sufficiently sanitize special elements in application-supplied namespace identifiers before using them to construct the target namespace for database operations. An application that incorporates untrusted text into these identifiers may have operations silently directed at a different storage location than the one the application intended. (CVE-2026-81525)

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

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
