"The remote Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the

    Package updates are available for Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2025-47947:
    ModSecurity is an open source, cross platform web application firewall (WAF) engine for Apache, IIS and
    Nginx. Versions up to and including 2.9.8 are vulnerable to denial of service in one special case (in
    stable released versions): when the payload's content type is `application/json`, and there is at least
    one rule which does a `sanitiseMatchedBytes` action. A patch is available at pull request 3389 and
    expected to be part of version 2.9.9. No known workarounds are available.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Alibaba Cloud Linux security advisory.

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