A vulnerability has been identified in Node.js, specifically affecting the handling of drive names in the Windows environment. Certain Node.js functions do not treat drive names as special on Windows. As a result, although Node.js assumes a relative path, it actually refers to the root directory. On Windows, a path that does not start with the file separator is treated as relative to the current directory. This vulnerability affects Windows users of `path.join` API.

The versions of Java installed on the remote host are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the April 2025 CPU advisory.

  - Vulnerability in the Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition product of Oracle Java SE     (component: JavaFX (gstreamer)). Supported versions that are affected are Oracle Java SE: 8u441,     8u441-perf; Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition: 20.3.17 and 21.3.13. Difficult to exploit vulnerability     allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise Oracle Java SE,     Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than     the attacker. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Oracle Java SE, Oracle     GraalVM Enterprise Edition. (CVE-2024-47606)

  - Vulnerability in the Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition product of Oracle Java SE     (component: JavaFX (WebKitGTK)). Supported versions that are affected are Oracle Java SE: 8u441; Oracle     GraalVM Enterprise Edition: 20.3.17 and 21.3.13. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows     unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise Oracle Java SE, Oracle     GraalVM Enterprise Edition. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the     attacker. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Oracle Java SE, Oracle     GraalVM Enterprise Edition. (CVE-2024-54534)

  - Vulnerability in the Oracle GraalVM for JDK product of Oracle Java SE (component: Node (Node.js)).     Supported versions that are affected are Oracle GraalVM for JDK: 17.0.14 and 21.0.6. Easily exploitable     vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with logon to the infrastructure where Oracle GraalVM for     JDK executes to compromise Oracle GraalVM for JDK. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in      unauthorized creation, deletion or modification access to critical data or all Oracle GraalVM for JDK      accessible data as well as unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Oracle GraalVM      for JDK accessible data. (CVE-2025-23083)

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 3.77.9. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities according to advisory TNS-2025-01, including the following:

  - libcurl would wrongly close the same eventfd file descriptor twice when taking down a connection channel     after having completed a threaded name resolve. (CVE-2025-0665)

  - With the aid of the diagnostics_channel utility, an event can be hooked into whenever a worker thread     is created. This is not limited only to workers but also exposes internal workers, where an instance     of them can be fetched, and its constructor can be grabbed and reinstated for malicious usage. This     vulnerability affects Permission Model users (--permission) on Node.js v20, v22, and v23. (CVE-2025-23083)

  - When libcurl is asked to perform automatic gzip decompression of content-encoded HTTP responses with     the CURLOPT_ACCEPT_ENCODING option, **using zlib 1.2.0.3 or older**, an attacker-controlled integer     overflow would make libcurl perform a buffer overflow. (CVE-2025-0725)

The remote Fedora 40 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the FEDORA-2025-cc8f9d8943 advisory.

    Update to version 18.20.6 (rhbz#2341760) (rhbz#2340936) (rhbz#2300997)

    Resolves CVE-2025-23084

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

The version of Node.js installed on the remote host is prior to 18.20.6, 20.18.2, 22.13.1, 23.6.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the Tuesday, January 21, 2025 Security Releases advisory.

  - A memory leak could occur when a remote peer abruptly closes the socket without sending a GOAWAY     notification. Additionally, if an invalid header was detected by nghttp2, causing the connection to be     terminated by the peer, the same leak was triggered. This flaw could lead to increased memory consumption     and potential denial of service under certain conditions. This vulnerability affects HTTP/2 Server users     on Node.js v18.x, v20.x, v22.x and v23.x. Impact: Thank you, to newtmitch for reporting this vulnerability     and thank you RafaelGSS for fixing it. (CVE-2025-23085)

  - With the aid of the diagnostics_channel utility, an event can be hooked into whenever a worker thread is     created. This is not limited only to workers but also exposes internal workers, where an instance of them     can be fetched, and its constructor can be grabbed and reinstated for malicious usage. This vulnerability     affects Permission Model users (--permission) on Node.js v20, v22, and v23. Impact: Thank you, to     leodog896 for reporting this vulnerability and thank you RafaelGSS for fixing it. (CVE-2025-23083)
