"The version of docker installed on the remote host is prior to 25.0.8-1. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability
as referenced in the ALAS2ECS-2025-048 advisory.
golang-jwt is a Go implementation of JSON Web Tokens. Unclear documentation of the error behavior in
`ParseWithClaims` can lead to situation where users are potentially not checking errors in the way they
should be. Especially, if a token is both expired and invalid, the errors returned by `ParseWithClaims`
return both error codes. If users only check for the `jwt.ErrTokenExpired ` using `error.Is`, they will
ignore the embedded `jwt.ErrTokenSignatureInvalid` and thus potentially accept invalid tokens. A fix has
been back-ported with the error handling logic from the `v5` branch to the `v4` branch. In this logic, the
`ParseWithClaims` function will immediately return in dangerous situations (e.g., an invalid signature),
limiting the combined errors only to situations where the signature is valid, but further validation
failed (e.g., if the signature is valid, but is expired AND has the wrong audience). This fix is part of
the 4.5.1 release. We are aware that this changes the behaviour of an established function and is not 100
% backwards compatible, so updating to 4.5.1 might break your code. In case you cannot update to 4.5.0,
please make sure that you are properly checking for all errors (dangerous ones first), so that you are
not running in the case detailed above. (CVE-2024-51744)
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.");
