The remote Fedora 40 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the FEDORA-2024-2c52524694 advisory.

  • Due to the improper handling of batch files in child_process.spawn / child_process.spawnSync, a malicious command line argument can inject arbitrary commands and achieve code execution even if the shell option is not enabled. Impact: Thank you, to ryotak for reporting this vulnerability and thank you Ben Noordhuis for fixing it. Summary The Node.js project will release new versions of the 18.x, 20.x, 21.x releases lines on or shortly after, Tuesday, April 9, 2024 in order to address: (CVE-2024-27980)

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