It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2024-593 advisory.

  - An attacker can make the Node.js HTTP/2 server completely unavailable by sending a small amount of HTTP/2     frames packets with a few HTTP/2 frames inside. It is possible to leave some data in nghttp2 memory after     reset when headers with HTTP/2 CONTINUATION frame are sent to the server and then a TCP connection is     abruptly closed by the client triggering the Http2Session destructor while header frames are still being     processed (and stored in memory) causing a race condition. (CVE-2024-27983)

  - nghttp2 is an implementation of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol version 2 in C. The nghttp2 library prior     to version 1.61.0 keeps reading the unbounded number of HTTP/2 CONTINUATION frames even after a stream is     reset to keep HPACK context in sync. This causes excessive CPU usage to decode HPACK stream. nghttp2     v1.61.0 mitigates this vulnerability by limiting the number of CONTINUATION frames it accepts per stream.
    There is no workaround for this vulnerability. (CVE-2024-28182)

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