The version of squid installed on the remote host is prior to 3.5.20-17.46. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS-2023-1757 advisory.

  • An issue was discovered in Squid before 4.9. When handling a URN request, a corresponding HTTP request is made. This HTTP request doesn’t go through the access checks that incoming HTTP requests go through. This causes all access checks to be bypassed and allows access to restricted HTTP servers, e.g., an attacker can connect to HTTP servers that only listen on localhost. (CVE-2019-12523)

  • An issue was discovered in Squid 3.x and 4.x through 4.8. Due to incorrect input validation, there is a heap-based buffer overflow that can result in Denial of Service to all clients using the proxy. Severity is high due to this vulnerability occurring before normal security checks; any remote client that can reach the proxy port can trivially perform the attack via a crafted URI scheme. (CVE-2019-18676)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
