"The version of Node.js installed on the remote host is prior to 18.20.6, 20.18.2, 22.13.1, 23.6.1. It is, therefore,
affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the Tuesday, January 21, 2025 Security Releases advisory.

  - A vulnerability has been identified in Node.js, specifically affecting the handling of drive names in the
    Windows environment. Certain Node.js functions do not treat drive names as special on Windows. As a
    result, although Node.js assumes a relative path, it actually refers to the root directory. On Windows, a
    path that does not start with the file separator is treated as relative to the current directory. This
    vulnerability affects Windows users of path.join API. Impact: Thank you, to taise for reporting this
    vulnerability and thank you tniessen for fixing it. (CVE-2025-23084)

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