The remote Debian 11 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-5042 advisory.

  • XSS can occur in GNOME Web (aka Epiphany) before 40.4 and 41.x before 41.1 via an about: page, as demonstrated by ephy-about:overview when a user visits an XSS payload page often enough to place that page on the Most Visited list. (CVE-2021-45085)

  • XSS can occur in GNOME Web (aka Epiphany) before 40.4 and 41.x before 41.1 because a server’s suggested_filename is used as the pdf_name value in PDF.js. (CVE-2021-45086)

  • XSS can occur in GNOME Web (aka Epiphany) before 40.4 and 41.x before 41.1 when View Source mode or Reader mode is used, as demonstrated by a a page title. (CVE-2021-45087)

  • XSS can occur in GNOME Web (aka Epiphany) before 40.4 and 41.x before 41.1 via an error page.
    (CVE-2021-45088)

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