"The version of qt5-qtbase installed on the remote host is prior to 5.15.3-1. It is, therefore, affected by a
vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2026-4060 advisory.

    An attacker able to supply a crafted XML document to an application using QXmlStreamReader can cause
    disproportionate CPU consumption during parsing, making the application unresponsive (denial of service).
    Exploitation requires only that the application parse attacker-influenced XML; no authentication,
    privileges, or user interaction beyond ingesting the input are needed. There is no loss of confidentiality
    or integrity -- no data disclosure, data modification, or code execution -- and the impact is contained to
    the affected process. (CVE-2026-16762)

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
number.");
