    Version        : 2.1.3-0+deb11u2
    CVE ID         : CVE-2025-59343
    Debian Bug     :

    node-tar-fs versions prior to 3.1.1, 2.1.3, and 1.16.5 are vulnerable to
    symlink validation bypass if the destination directory is predictable
    with a specific tarball.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, this problem has been fixed in version
    2.1.3-0+deb11u2.

    We recommend that you upgrade your node-tar-fs packages.

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

    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
