"The version of the mongo-express Node.js module installed on the remote host is prior to 0.54.0. It is, therefore,
affected by a remote code execution vulnerability via endpoints that use the 'toBSON' method. A misuse of the `vm`
dependency allows performing 'exec' commands in a non-safe environment.

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