Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2026-106074

critical Nessus Plugin ID 370552

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.

- A flaw in Node.js crypto causes the internal entropy caches used by crypto.randomUUID(), crypto.randomUUIDv7(), and crypto.randomInt() to be saved into user-land startup snapshots (--build- snapshot) and single executable applications built with useSnapshot. If any of these functions, or an API that relies on them such as URL.createObjectURL(), is called while the snapshot is built, every process started from that snapshot returns the same values until the cache is refilled: up to 127 UUIDs and about 1,000 randomInt() values. Identifiers expected to be unique can collide across processes, and values issued by one process can be predicted by observing another. This vulnerability affects Node.js 26.x, 24.x, and 22.x. Thank you, to gesposito for reporting this vulnerability and thank you panva for fixing it. (CVE-2026-106074)

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