vulnerabilities as referenced in the SSA:2024-038-01 advisory.

  - libexpat through 2.5.0 allows a denial of service (resource consumption) because many full reparsings are
    required in the case of a large token for which multiple buffer fills are needed. (CVE-2023-52425)

  - libexpat through 2.5.0 allows recursive XML Entity Expansion if XML_DTD is undefined at compile time.
    (CVE-2023-52426)

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