Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2026-101901

high Nessus Plugin ID 351318

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.

 - Axios is a promise-based HTTP client for the browser and Node.js. From 1.13.0 until 1.20.0, Http2Sessions does not install adequate error handling for a ClientHttp2Session during Axios HTTP/2 session initialization or reuse. A request uses httpVersion: 2 and the ClientHttp2Session emits an error during session initialization or reuse. The unhandled session error escapes normal Promise rejection handling.
 The uncaught error can terminate the Node.js process and cause denial of service. This issue is fixed in version 1.20.0. (CVE-2026-101901)

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

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
