"The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 7.02, has ruby packages installed that are affected by multiple
vulnerabilities:

  - Net::IMAP implements Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) client functionality in Ruby. Prior to
    versions 0.4.24, 0.5.14, and 0.6.4, several Net::IMAP commands accept a raw string argument that is sent
    to the server without validation or escaping. If this string is derived from user-controlled input, it may
    contain contain CRLF sequences, which an attacker can use to inject arbitrary IMAP commands. This issue
    has been patched in versions 0.4.24, 0.5.14, and 0.6.4. (CVE-2026-42257)

  - Net::IMAP implements Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) client functionality in Ruby. Prior to
    versions 0.4.24, 0.5.14, and 0.6.4, Net::IMAP::ResponseReader has quadratic time complexity when reading
    large responses containing many string literals. A hostile server can send responses which are crafted to
    exhaust the client's CPU for a denial of service attack. This issue has been patched in versions 0.4.24,
    0.5.14, and 0.6.4. (CVE-2026-42245)

  - Net::IMAP implements Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) client functionality in Ruby. Prior to
    versions 0.3.10, 0.4.24, 0.5.14, and 0.6.4, a man-in-the-middle attacker can cause Net::IMAP#starttls to
    return successfully, without starting TLS. This issue has been patched in versions 0.3.10, 0.4.24,
    0.5.14, and 0.6.4. (CVE-2026-42246)

  - Net::IMAP implements Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) client functionality in Ruby. Prior to
    versions 0.4.24, 0.5.14, and 0.6.4, symbol arguments to commands are vulnerable to a CRLF Injection / IMAP
    Command injection via Symbol arguments passed to IMAP commands. This issue has been patched in versions
    0.4.24, 0.5.14, and 0.6.4. (CVE-2026-42258)

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