"The version of curl installed on the remote host is 7.86.0 prior to 8.23.0. It is, therefore, affected by
an information disclosure vulnerability:

  - When curl is built with GnuTLS, a malicious WebSocket server can make curl send memory past its send
    buffer. This is due to an out of bounds read following when gnutls_record_send() returns a number of
    bytes sent greater than the number of bytes it was given to send. GnuTLS does that after a blocked
    send. (CVE-2026-107928)

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