The version of Splunk installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the SVD-2023-0808 advisory.

  - The go command may execute arbitrary code at build time when using cgo. This may occur when running go     get on a malicious module, or when running any other command which builds untrusted code. This is can by     triggered by linker flags, specified via a #cgo LDFLAGS directive. Flags containing embedded spaces are     mishandled, allowing disallowed flags to be smuggled through the LDFLAGS sanitization by including them in     the argument of another flag. This only affects usage of the gccgo compiler. (CVE-2023-29405)

  - When curl < 7.84.0 saves cookies, alt-svc and hsts data to local files, it makes the operation atomic by     finalizing the operation with a rename from a temporary name to the final target file name.In that rename     operation, it might accidentally *widen* the permissions for the target file, leaving the updated file     accessible to more users than intended. (CVE-2022-32207)

  - decode-uri-component 0.2.0 is vulnerable to Improper Input Validation resulting in DoS. (CVE-2022-38900)

  - The got package before 12.1.0 (also fixed in 11.8.5) for Node.js allows a redirect to a UNIX socket.
    (CVE-2022-33987)

  - Prototype pollution vulnerability in function parseQuery in parseQuery.js in webpack loader-utils via the     name variable in parseQuery.js. This affects all versions prior to 1.4.1 and 2.0.3. (CVE-2022-37601)

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.

  - JSDom improperly allows the loading of local resources, which allows for local files to be manipulated by     a malicious web page when script execution is enabled. (CVE-2021-20066)

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