The remote Debian 11 / 12 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the dsa-5635 advisory.

  • YARD is a Ruby Documentation tool. The frames.html file within the Yard Doc’s generated documentation is vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks due to inadequate sanitization of user input within the JavaScript segment of the frames.erb template file. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.9.36.
    (CVE-2024-27285)

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