Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2026-76174

critical Nessus Plugin ID 342845

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.

 - Unrestricted file upload vulnerability in the CSV file upload functionality of the Ocsreports admin_info endpoint. The application validates files solely based on the name provided by the client, without properly checking their content or securely restricting the permitted file types. This allows a user with administrator privileges to upload PHP files to a directory accessible via the web interface. If the file is subsequently processed by the server, an attacker could execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the account used by the web service. (CVE-2026-76174)

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

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
