The version of polkit installed on the remote Azure Linux 3.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2025-7519 advisory.

  - A flaw was found in polkit. When processing an XML policy with 32 or more nested elements in depth, an     out-of-bounds write can be triggered. This issue can lead to a crash or other unexpected behavior, and     arbitrary code execution is not discarded. To exploit this flaw, a high-privilege account is needed as     it's required to place the malicious policy file properly. (CVE-2025-7519)

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