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

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

It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2023-2024-743 advisory.

    An issue was discovered in the WEBrick toolkit through 1.8.1 for Ruby. It allows HTTP request smuggling by     providing both a Content-Length header and a Transfer-Encoding header, e.g., GET /admin HTTP/1.1\r\n     inside of a POST /user HTTP/1.1\r\n request. NOTE: the supplier's position is Webrick should not be     used in production. (CVE-2024-47220)
