The version of ruby / rubygem-rexml installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2024-41946 advisory.

  • REXML is an XML toolkit for Ruby. The REXML gem 3.3.2 has a DoS vulnerability when it parses an XML that has many entity expansions with SAX2 or pull parser API. The REXML gem 3.3.3 or later include the patch to fix the vulnerability. (CVE-2024-41946)

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