It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2026-3133 advisory.

    Mozilla blocked compromised intermediate eMudhra certificates via OneCRL on the 17th of October which was     distributed to clients via RemoteSettings the same day. This update contains the updated OneCRL block     list, ensuring clients will block the compromised certificates even if RemoteSettings is disabled by     policy or otherwise unavailable in the user's network environment. This vulnerability was fixed in Firefox     158.0.1, Firefox ESR 153.5.1, and Firefox ESR 115.43.1.

    The ca-certificates package contains the set of system-wide trusted Root CA certificates. The ca-     certificates package is not itself vulnerable because it contains no compromised certificates, but it does     include the eMudhra root CAs that signed the compromised intermediate certificates. Because those roots     are trust anchors for the intermediates, Amazon Linux will remove the affected eMudhra root certificates     from the package. After updating, certificates that chain to the removed roots will no longer be trusted.
    This issue affects any application that uses the system-wide PKI certificates supplied by ca-certificates.
    Customers are advised to update ca-certificates as soon as the fixed package is available.
    (CVE-2026-113470)

    Overly permissive file permissions in AWS CLI before 1.44.78 (v1) and 2.34.29 (v2) on Unix-like systems     where the umask has not been configured to restrict file permissions (the default on most systems) may     allow other local users on the same host to read credentials written by certain CLI subcommands (aws     codeartifact login, aws iam create-virtual-mfa-device, aws deploy register).

    To remediate this issue, users should upgrade to AWS CLI 1.44.78 (v1) or 2.34.29 (v2) or later.
    (CVE-2026-13769)

    Key exchange without entity authentication in the EMR SSH helper commands in Amazon AWS CLI before 1.45.28     and AWS CLI v2 before 2.35.3 might allow man-in-the-middle attackers to intercept SSHsessions and file     transfers via network positioning between the client and the EMR cluster endpoint.



    To remediate this issue, users should upgrade to AWS CLI v1 1.45.28 or later, or AWS CLI v2 2.35.3 or     later. (CVE-2026-18654)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
