"It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2023-2026-2150 advisory.

    jsoup is a Java library for working with real-world HTML. From 1.14.3 until 1.23.1, jsoup's HTML parser
    could incorrectly handle a malformed tag name ending in a control character, causing the tag to acquire
    the parsing behavior of a different element. When a custom Safelist permits certain raw-text elements,
    this misparsing can cause content that should remain inert text to be emitted as active markup after
    serialization, potentially resulting in cross-site scripting. jsoup's built-in Safelists are not affected.
    This issue is fixed in version 1.23.1. (CVE-2026-71497)

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