The version of Node.js installed on the remote host is prior to 12.22.6 or 14.17.6. It is, therefore, affected by multiple remote code execution vulnerabilities in various components due to insufficient validation of user input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to bypass authentication and execute arbitrary commands. Additional impacts of these vulnerabilities include arbitrary file writing and creation.

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