"The version of Podman installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 5.8.2. It is, therefore, affected by a command
injection vulnerability in the HyperV machine backend.

  - A command injection vulnerability exists in Podman's HyperV machine backend. The VM image path is inserted into a
    PowerShell double-quoted string without sanitization, allowing $() subexpression injection. An attacker who can
    control the VM image path can execute arbitrary PowerShell commands with the privileges of the Podman process on
    the Windows host. (CVE-2026-33414)

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