Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The version of FreeBSD installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the cacb4538-d2d0-11f1-8062-64bc58adb10f advisory.

The Git LFS project reports:
This release introduces security fixes for four vulnerabilities that have been assigned the identifiers CVE-2026-69260, CVE-2026-69261, CVE-2026-105802, and CVE-2026-105803. These vulnerabilities apply to all of the operating systems supported by Git LFS.
CVE-2026-69260: When Git LFS sends a remote command via SSH, it does not properly format the argument it derives from the remote SSH URL.
Servers which pass remote commands to a shell without sanitizing their arguments may be induced to execute malicious programs.
CVE-2026-69261: After receiving an HTTP redirection, Git LFS may forward Cookie headers to a host other than the one for which they were intended. If credentials or other secrets are stored in HTTP cookies, they may be leaked to a potentially malicious host.
CVE-2026-105802: When operating in a malicious repository which contains a submodule, Git LFS may execute an arbitrary program after incorrectly parsing line feed (LF) characters in the submodule's URL.
CVE-2026-105803: When operating in a malicious repository, Git LFS may execute an arbitrary program as a custom transfer adapter after incorrectly filtering the options defined in an .lfsconfig file.

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

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

Solution

Update the affected packages.
