The remote SUSE Linux SLES12 / SLES_SAP12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2023:0715-1 advisory.

  - A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in Node.js <19.6.1, <18.14.1, <16.19.1 and <14.21.3 that made     it possible to bypass the experimental Permissions (https://nodejs.org/api/permissions.html) feature in     Node.js and access non authorized modules by using process.mainModule.require(). This only affects users     who had enabled the experimental permissions option with --experimental-policy. (CVE-2023-23918)

  - A cryptographic vulnerability exists in Node.js <19.2.0, <18.14.1, <16.19.1, <14.21.3 that in some cases     did does not clear the OpenSSL error stack after operations that may set it. This may lead to false     positive errors during subsequent cryptographic operations that happen to be on the same thread. This in     turn could be used to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2023-23919)

  - An untrusted search path vulnerability exists in Node.js. <19.6.1, <18.14.1, <16.19.1, and <14.21.3 that     could allow an attacker to search and potentially load ICU data when running with elevated privileges.
    (CVE-2023-23920)

  - Undici is an HTTP/1.1 client for Node.js. Starting with version 2.0.0 and prior to version 5.19.1, the     undici library does not protect `host` HTTP header from CRLF injection vulnerabilities. This issue is     patched in Undici v5.19.1. As a workaround, sanitize the `headers.host` string before passing to undici.
    (CVE-2023-23936)

  - Undici is an HTTP/1.1 client for Node.js. Prior to version 5.19.1, the `Headers.set()` and     `Headers.append()` methods are vulnerable to Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) attacks when     untrusted values are passed into the functions. This is due to the inefficient regular expression used to     normalize the values in the `headerValueNormalize()` utility function. This vulnerability was patched in     v5.19.1. No known workarounds are available. (CVE-2023-24807)

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