The version of FreeBSD installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the a431676c-f86c-4371-b48a-b7d2b0bec3a3 advisory.

  • setuid() does not affect libuv’s internal io_uring operations if initialized before the call to setuid().
    This allows the process to perform privileged operations despite presumably having dropped such privileges through a call to setuid(). This vulnerability affects all users using version greater or equal than Node.js 18.18.0, Node.js 20.4.0 and Node.js 21. (CVE-2024-22017)

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