AlmaLinux 9.2 [TuxCare] Security Update: wget (ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2026:1786488345)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 362211

Synopsis

The AlmaLinux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the TuxCare ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2026:1786488345 advisory.

 - GNU Wget does not validate the IP address provided by an FTP PASV response while operating in FTP passive mode. A malicious FTP server, or an HTTP server that redirects to an FTP URL, can exploit this behavior to redirect Wget's data connection to an arbitrary IP address and port. This allows an attacker to forge server-side requests (SSRF) from the machine running Wget, potentially accessing localhost services or internal network resources. (CVE-2026-15146)

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

Solution

Update the affected wget package based on the guidance in TuxCare advisory ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2026:1786488345.
