"The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 / 9 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced
in the RHSA-2025:15124 advisory.

    Red Hat Satellite is a system management solution that allows organizations
    to configure and maintain their systems without the necessity to provide
    public Internet access to their servers or other client systems. It
    performs provisioning and configuration management of predefined standard
    operating environments.

    Security Fix(es):

    * puppet-agent: REXML ReDoS vulnerability (CVE-2024-49761)

    * puppetserver: REXML ReDoS vulnerability (CVE-2024-49761)

    * After upgrading from RHEL8 to RHEL9, the webhooks stopped working (SAT-37580)

    * foreman-rake rh_cloud:hybridcloud_register task is broken (SAT-37586)

    Users of Red Hat Satellite are advised to upgrade to these updated
    packages, which fix these bugs.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

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