"The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 / 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as
referenced in the RHSA-2025:17613 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):

    * cjson: out-of-bounds access in decode_array_index_from_pointer() in cJSON_Utils.c via crafted JSON
    pointer strings (CVE-2025-57052)

    * python-django: Django SQL injection in FilteredRelation column aliases (CVE-2025-57833)

    * puppet-agent: incomplete fix for CVE-2024-49761 (CVE-2025-10990)

    * Fail to upgrade to Satellite 6.16 when Satellite has more than 520 users (SAT-38406)

    * Ensure host key cleanup of /usr/share/foreman-proxy/.ssh/known_hosts on the Satellite (or Capsule)
    server when first remote execution is using Ansible (SAT-38408)

    * Installer loads plugins from /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/cache/lib/, breaking PostgreSQL config updates and
    thus upgrades from 6.15 to 6.16 (max_connections is not updated) (SAT-38410)

    * Second container push set manifest size fields to -1, which breaks bootc (SAT-38411)

    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 these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
