    Version        : 1.7.14-1+deb11u3
    CVE ID         : CVE-2025-57052


    It was discovered that cJSON, an ultralightweight JSON parser, performed
    insufficient input sanitising, which could result in out-of-bounds
    memory access.


    For Debian 11 bullseye, this problem has been fixed in version
    1.7.14-1+deb11u3.

    We recommend that you upgrade your cjson packages.

    For the detailed security status of cjson please refer to
    its security tracker page at:
    https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/cjson

    Further information about Debian LTS security advisories, how to apply
    these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be
    found at: https://wiki.debian.org/LTS

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Debian security advisory.

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