"The version of HCL BigFix Remote Control running on the remote host is 10.1.0.0442 or earlier. It is, therefore,
affected by multiple vulnerabilities:
- A misconfigured Content Security Policy (CSP) in HCL BigFix Remote Control Server WebUI (versions
10.1.0.0442 and earlier) fails to define directives without fallbacks, allowing attackers to bypass
intended security restrictions and load unauthorized resources. (CVE-2026-21785)
- Netty incorrectly parses quoted strings in HTTP/1.1 chunked transfer encoding extension values, enabling
request smuggling attacks. (CVE-2026-33870)
- Netty is an asynchronous, event-driven network application framework. In versions prior to 4.1.132.Final
and 4.2.10.Final, a remote user can trigger a Denial of Service (DoS) against a Netty HTTP/2 server by
sending a flood of CONTINUATION frames. The server's lack of a limit on the number of CONTINUATION frames,
combined with a bypass of existing size-based mitigations using zero-byte frames, allows an user to cause
excessive CPU consumption with minimal bandwidth, rendering the server unresponsive. (CVE-2026-33871)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported
version number.");
