The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability that has been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - python-pip: when --extra-index-url option is used and package does not already exist in the public index,     the installation of malicious package with arbitrary version number is possible. (CVE-2018-20225)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

According to the version of the python-pip packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerability :

  - ** DISPUTED ** An issue was discovered in pip (all     versions) because it installs the version with the     highest version number, even if the user had intended     to obtain a private package from a private index. This     only affects use of the --extra-index-url option, and     exploitation requires that the package does not already     exist in the public index (and thus the attacker can     put the package there with an arbitrary version     number). NOTE: it has been reported that this is     intended functionality and the user is responsible for     using --extra-index-url securely.(CVE-2018-20225)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - python-pip: when --extra-index-url option is used and package does not already exist in the public index,     the installation of malicious package with arbitrary version number is possible. (CVE-2018-20225)

  - The pip package before 19.2 for Python allows Directory Traversal when a URL is given in an install     command, because a Content-Disposition header can have ../ in a filename, as demonstrated by overwriting     the /root/.ssh/authorized_keys file. This occurs in _download_http_url in _internal/download.py.
    (CVE-2019-20916)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

The version of Splunk installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the SVD-2023-0808 advisory.

  - The go command may execute arbitrary code at build time when using cgo. This may occur when running go     get on a malicious module, or when running any other command which builds untrusted code. This is can by     triggered by linker flags, specified via a #cgo LDFLAGS directive. Flags containing embedded spaces are     mishandled, allowing disallowed flags to be smuggled through the LDFLAGS sanitization by including them in     the argument of another flag. This only affects usage of the gccgo compiler. (CVE-2023-29405)

  - When curl < 7.84.0 saves cookies, alt-svc and hsts data to local files, it makes the operation atomic by     finalizing the operation with a rename from a temporary name to the final target file name.In that rename     operation, it might accidentally *widen* the permissions for the target file, leaving the updated file     accessible to more users than intended. (CVE-2022-32207)

  - decode-uri-component 0.2.0 is vulnerable to Improper Input Validation resulting in DoS. (CVE-2022-38900)

  - The got package before 12.1.0 (also fixed in 11.8.5) for Node.js allows a redirect to a UNIX socket.
    (CVE-2022-33987)

  - Prototype pollution vulnerability in function parseQuery in parseQuery.js in webpack loader-utils via the     name variable in parseQuery.js. This affects all versions prior to 1.4.1 and 2.0.3. (CVE-2022-37601)

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