Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2026-53683

medium Nessus Plugin ID 342344

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.

- reset_password.html parses query string parameters and uses the 'url' parameter as a redirection target (window.location = url) after password reset, optionally delayed by a 'delay' parameter. No validation or allowlisting is performed on url, enabling an attacker to redirect users to an arbitrary external site after completion of the password-reset workflow. (CVE-2026-53683)

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

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
