"The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 7.02, has nodejs packages installed that are affected by a
vulnerability:

  - Versions of the package cross-spawn before 6.0.6, from 7.0.0 and before 7.0.5 are vulnerable to Regular
    Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) due to improper input sanitization. An attacker can increase the CPU
    usage and crash the program by crafting a very large and well crafted string. (CVE-2024-21538)

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