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

  - Cacti provides an operational monitoring and fault management framework. Versions of Cacti prior to 1.2.27     are vulnerable to stored cross-site scripting, a type of cross-site scripting where malicious scripts are     permanently stored on a target server and served to users who access a particular page. Version 1.2.27     contains a patch for the issue. (CVE-2024-27082)

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

The remote Debian 12 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-5862 advisory.

    Multiple security vulnerabilities have been discovered in Cacti, a web     interface for graphing of monitoring systems, which could result in     cross-site scripting, SQL injection, or command injection.

    For the stable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed in     version 1.2.24+ds1-1+deb12u5.

    We recommend that you upgrade your cacti packages.
