There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

  - Python-Multipart is a streaming multipart parser for Python. Prior to 0.0.31, parse_form() did not
    validate the Content-Length header before using it to bound its chunked read of the request body. A
    negative Content-Length turned the bounded read into a read-until-EOF, so the entire body was loaded into
    memory in a single read instead of in fixed-size chunks. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.0.31.
    (CVE-2026-53540)

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

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

The remote openSUSE 16 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the openSUSE-SU-2026:21066-1 advisory.

    This update for python-python-multipart fixes the following issues

    - CVE-2026-53537: multipart/form-data with extended parameters can lead to file or parameter smuggling     (bsc#1268506).
    - CVE-2026-53538: urlencoded requests containing semicolons can lead to form field smuggling     (bsc#1268496).
    - CVE-2026-53539: small crafted body can cause a denial of service (bsc#1268500).
    - CVE-2026-53540: crafted request buffers can lead to degrading availability (bsc#1268488).

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE 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 SUSE Linux SLES16 / SLES_SAP16 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2026:22372-1 advisory.

The version of IBM Cognos Analytics installed on the remote host is 12.1.x prior to 12.1.3 FP2. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the IBM Security Bulletin No. 7287209. These vulnerabilities are applicable only to version 12.1.3 due to newer functionalities and an updated software stack:

  - Arbitrary class instantiation via model manifest in Apache OpenNLP ExtensionLoader. The     ExtensionLoader.instantiateExtension() method loads a class by its fully-qualified name via     Class.forName() and invokes its no-arg constructor, with the class name sourced from the     manifest.properties entry of a model archive. An attacker who can supply a crafted model archive can     cause the static initializer of any class on the classpath to run during model loading.
    (CVE-2026-42027)

  - XML External Entity (XXE) via unsanitized dictionary parsing in Apache OpenNLP     DictionaryEntryPersistor. An attacker who can supply a crafted dictionary file containing a malicious     DOCTYPE declaration can trigger local file disclosure via file:// entity references or server-side     request forgery via http:// entity references during SAX parsing. (CVE-2026-40682)

  - An authenticated attacker may bypass the fix in CVE-2026-34197 by adding a connector using an HTTP     Discovery transport via BrokerView.addNetworkConnector or BrokerView.addConnector through Jolokia if the     activemq-http module is on the classpath, resulting in arbitrary code execution on the Apache ActiveMQ     broker's JVM. (CVE-2026-40466)

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