"The version of pgAdmin installed on the remote host is prior to 9.16. It is, therefore, affected by
an HTML injection vulnerability:

  - Cloud deployment endpoints forward SDK exception text directly into JSON fields without
    HTML-encoding. The Cloud Wizard frontend renders these responses through html-react-parser,
    allowing an authenticated user to inject markup into the wizard panel. (CVE-2026-12047)

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