The remote SUSE Linux SUSE15 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the openSUSE-SU-2022:10148-1 advisory.

  - In Roundcube Webmail before 1.3.10, an attacker in possession of S/MIME or PGP encrypted emails can wrap     them as sub-parts within a crafted multipart email. The encrypted part(s) can further be hidden using     HTML/CSS or ASCII newline characters. This modified multipart email can be re-sent by the attacker to the     intended receiver. If the receiver replies to this (benign looking) email, they unknowingly leak the     plaintext of the encrypted message part(s) back to the attacker. (CVE-2019-10740)

  - rcube_image.php in Roundcube Webmail before 1.4.4 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via shell     metacharacters in a configuration setting for im_convert_path or im_identify_path. (CVE-2020-12641)
