The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202402-13 (TACACS+: Remote Code Execution)

  • A lack of input validation exists in tac_plus prior to commit 4fdf178 which, when pre or post auth commands are enabled, allows an attacker who can control the username, rem-addr, or NAC address sent to tac_plus to inject shell commands and gain remote code execution on the tac_plus server. (CVE-2023-45239)

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