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

  - xmldom is a pure JavaScript W3C standard-based (XML DOM Level 2 Core) DOMParser and XMLSerializer module.
    Prior to @xmldom/xmldom versions 0.8.15 and 0.9.12, and in xmldom version 0.6.0 and earlier, the     DOCUMENT_TYPE_NODE branch in lib/dom.js validates publicId, systemId, and internalSubset under     requireWellFormed: true but emits DocumentType.name verbatim. A name containing > or whitespace can     terminate the <!DOCTYPE ...> declaration and inject sibling markup; the value can be supplied through     createDocumentType() on the 0.8.x and unscoped lines or through a direct DocumentType.name property write     on every affected line. The default path and legacy creation-time behavior remain permissive, while the     vulnerable strict path fails to enforce an XML Name. This issue is fixed in @xmldom/xmldom versions 0.8.15     and 0.9.12; no fixed version is available for xmldom. (CVE-2026-83608)

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