An update of the dotnet package has been released.

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

  - Improper handling of missing special element in .NET allows an unauthorized attacker to perform spoofing     over a network. (CVE-2026-21218)

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

The version of the Tenable Identity Exposure running on the remote host is prior to 3.77.17. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities according to advisory TNS-2026-11:

  - A flaw in Node.js's Permissions model allows attackers to bypass --allow-fs-read and --allow-fs-write     restrictions using crafted relative symlink paths. By chaining directories and symlinks, a script     granted access only to the current directory can escape the allowed path and read sensitive files. This     breaks the expected isolation guarantees and enables arbitrary file read/write, leading to potential     system compromise. (CVE-2025-55130)

  - Improper validation of specified type of input in SQL Server allows an authorized attacker to elevate     privileges over a network. (CVE-2026-26115)

  - Improper access control in Curl allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges over a network.
    (CVE-2026-21262)

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

The version of the Tenable Identity Exposure running on the remote host is prior to 3.77.17. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities according to advisory TNS-2026-11:

  - A flaw in Node.js's Permissions model allows attackers to bypass `--allow-fs-read` and `--allow-fs-write`     restrictions using crafted relative symlink paths. By chaining directories and symlinks, a script granted     access only to the current directory can escape the allowed path and read sensitive files. This breaks the     expected isolation guarantees and enables arbitrary file read/write, leading to potential system compromise.
    This vulnerability affects users of the permission model on Node.js v20, v22, v24, and v25. (CVE-2025-55130)

  - Improper access control in SQL Server allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges over a network.
    (CVE-2026-21262)

  - Improper validation of specified type of input in SQL Server allows an authorized attacker to elevate     privileges over a network. (CVE-2026-26115)

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

The remote Ubuntu 22.04 LTS / 25.10 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-8025-1 advisory.

    Kevin Jones discovered that the System.Security.Cryptography.Cose component in .NET did not properly     handle certain missing special elements in input data. An attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass     security checks and gain unauthorized access or perform data manipulation.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

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

The version of tested product installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the vendor advisory.

  - .NET Spoofing Vulnerability (CVE-2026-21218)

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