"It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2023-2023-273 advisory.

    The PKCS#11 feature in ssh-agent in OpenSSH before 9.3p2 has an insufficiently trustworthy search path,
    leading to remote code execution if the target user's ssh-agent is forwarded to an attacker-controlled
    system (the code in /usr/lib is not necessarily safe for loading into ssh-agent). Exploitation can also be
    prevented by starting ssh-agent with an empty PKCS#11/FIDO allowlist (ssh-agent -P '') or by configuring
    an allowlist that contains only specific provider libraries. NOTE: this issue exists because of an
    incomplete fix for CVE-2016-10009. (CVE-2023-38408)

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

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