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

  - ModSecurity is an open source, cross platform web application firewall (WAF) engine for Apache, IIS and     Nginx. In versions 2.9.11 and below, an attacker can override the HTTP response's Content-Type, which     could lead to several issues depending on the HTTP scenario. For example, we have demonstrated the     potential for XSS and arbitrary script source code disclosure in the latest version of mod_security2. This     issue is fixed in version 2.9.12. (CVE-2025-54571)

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

The version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 4 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the TSSA-2025:0673 advisory.

    Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 4 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2025-54571:
    ModSecurity is an open source, cross platform web application firewall (WAF) engine for Apache, IIS and     Nginx.
