The version of cri-tools installed on the remote host is prior to 1.29.0-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2024-2446 advisory.

  - A malicious HTTP sender can use chunk extensions to cause a receiver reading from a request or response     body to read many more bytes from the network than are in the body. A malicious HTTP client can further     exploit this to cause a server to automatically read a large amount of data (up to about 1GiB) when a     handler fails to read the entire body of a request. Chunk extensions are a little-used HTTP feature which     permit including additional metadata in a request or response body sent using the chunked encoding. The     net/http chunked encoding reader discards this metadata. A sender can exploit this by inserting a large     metadata segment with each byte transferred. The chunk reader now produces an error if the ratio of real     body to encoded bytes grows too small. (CVE-2023-39326)

  - Text nodes not in the HTML namespace are incorrectly literally rendered, causing text which should be     escaped to not be. This could lead to an XSS attack. (CVE-2023-3978)

  - OpenTelemetry-Go Contrib is a collection of third-party packages for OpenTelemetry-Go. A handler wrapper     out of the box adds labels `http.user_agent` and `http.method` that have unbound cardinality. It leads to     the server's potential memory exhaustion when many malicious requests are sent to it. HTTP header User-     Agent or HTTP method for requests can be easily set by an attacker to be random and long. The library     internally uses `httpconv.ServerRequest` that records every value for HTTP `method` and `User-Agent`. In     order to be affected, a program has to use the `otelhttp.NewHandler` wrapper and not filter any unknown     HTTP methods or User agents on the level of CDN, LB, previous middleware, etc. Version 0.44.0 fixed this     issue when the values collected for attribute `http.request.method` were changed to be restricted to a set     of well-known values and other high cardinality attributes were removed. As a workaround to stop being     affected, `otelhttp.WithFilter()` can be used, but it requires manual careful configuration to not log     certain requests entirely. For convenience and safe usage of this library, it should by default mark with     the label `unknown` non-standard HTTP methods and User agents to show that such requests were made but do     not increase cardinality. In case someone wants to stay with the current behavior, library API should     allow to enable it. (CVE-2023-45142)

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