The remote Debian 10 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the dla-3760 advisory.

  • xml2js version 0.4.23 allows an external attacker to edit or add new properties to an object. This is possible because the application does not properly validate incoming JSON keys, thus allowing the
    proto property to be edited. (CVE-2023-0842)

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