"The version of curl installed on the remote host is 7.15.0 prior to 8.23.0. It is, therefore, affected by
an information disclosure vulnerability:

  - libcurl's TFTP state machine fails to validate state transitions against the requested transfer
    direction, accepting opening server responses for both reads and writes interchangeably. A
    malicious TFTP server can respond to a download request in a way that forces the client into
    transmit mode, prompting libcurl to consume and transmit data from the handle's persistent
    CURLOPT_READDATA pointer - including data remaining from unrelated prior operations, such as an
    HTTP POST request executed on a reused handle. (CVE-2026-92389)

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