"The version of the Rack Ruby library installed on the remote host is 3.2.0 or later but prior to 3.2.6.
It is, therefore, affected by a header injection vulnerability:

  - Rack::Multipart::Parser unfolds folded multipart part headers incorrectly, preserving embedded CRLF
    in parsed parameter values instead of removing folded line break. Applications reusing these values
    in HTTP response headers may be vulnerable to header injection or response splitting. (CVE-2026-26962)

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