"The version of Node.js installed on the remote host is prior to 12.22.5 or 14.17.5 or 16.6.2. It is, therefore,
affected by multiple vulnerabilities including the following:

  - A remote command execution vulnerability exists in Node.js due to insufficient validation of untypical characters 
    in domain names. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to bypass authentication and execute 
    arbitrary commands. (CVE-2021-22931)

  - A security bypass vulnerability exists in the HTTPS API of Node.js. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit
    this to cause connections to servers with an expired certificate to be accepted. (CVE-2021-22939)

  - A use after free vulnerability exists in Node.js. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to execute 
    arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-22940)

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