    Package        : opam
    CVE ID         : CVE-2026-41082

    Andrew Nesbitt discovered that .install file directives were
    insufficiently restricted in OPAM, a package manager for OCaml. This
    could result in directory traversal out of the package area.

    For the oldstable distribution (bookworm), this problem has been fixed
    in version 2.1.2-1+deb12u1.

    For the stable distribution (trixie), this problem has been fixed in
    version 2.3.0-1+deb13u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your opam packages.

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

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

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
