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 5f608c68-276c-11ef-8caa-0897988a1c07 advisory.

    Composer project reports:
    The status, reinstall and remove commands with packages               installed from source via git containing specially crafted               branch names in the repository can be used to execute               code.
    The composer install command running inside a git/hg               repository which has specially crafted branch names can               lead to command injection. So this requires cloning               untrusted repositories.

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.

The remote Debian 10 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-3838 advisory.

    It was discovered that there were a number of command-line injection     vulnerabilities in Composer, a popular dependency manager for PHP.

    The 'install', 'status', 'reinstall' and 'remove' functionality had     issues when used with Git or Hg repositories which used maliciously-     crafted branch names, which could have been abused to execute     arbitrary shell commands.

    For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version     1.8.4-1+deb10u4.

    We recommend that you upgrade your composer packages.

    Thomas Chauchefoin discovered that Composer did not correctly handle certain arguments. An attacker could     possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Ubuntu 18.04     LTS, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. (CVE-2022-24828, CVE-2023-43655)

It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2023-2024-659 advisory.

    Composer is a dependency manager for PHP. On the 2.x branch prior to versions 2.2.24 and 2.7.7, the     `composer install` command running inside a git/hg repository which has specially crafted branch names can     lead to command injection. This requires cloning untrusted repositories. Patches are available in version     2.2.24 for 2.2 LTS or 2.7.7 for mainline. As a workaround, avoid cloning potentially compromised     repositories.
