There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

  - Addressable is an alternative implementation to the URI implementation that is part of Ruby's standard
    library. An uncontrolled resource consumption vulnerability exists after version 2.3.0 through version
    2.7.0. Within the URI template implementation in Addressable, a maliciously crafted template may result in
    uncontrolled resource consumption, leading to denial of service when matched against a URI. In typical
    usage, templates would not normally be read from untrusted user input, but nonetheless, no previous
    security advisory for Addressable has cautioned against doing this. Users of the parsing capabilities in
    Addressable but not the URI template capabilities are unaffected. The vulnerability is patched in version
    2.8.0. As a workaround, only create Template objects from trusted sources that have been validated not to
    produce catastrophic backtracking. (CVE-2021-32740)

The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the UTSA-2026-016622 advisory.

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

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

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.
