"The version of Docker installed on the remote host is prior to 4.39.0. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as
referenced in the CVE-2025-1696 advisory.

  - A vulnerability exists in Docker Desktop prior to version 4.39.0 that could lead to the unintentional
    disclosure of sensitive information via application logs. In affected versions, proxy configuration
    datapotentially including sensitive detailswas written to log files in clear text whenever an HTTP GET
    request was made through a proxy. An attacker with read access to these logs could obtain the proxy
    information and leverage it for further attacks or unauthorized access. Starting with version 4.39.0,
    Docker Desktop no longer logs the proxy string, thereby mitigating this risk. (CVE-2025-1696)

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