"The version of OISF Suricata installed on the remote host is 8.x prior to 8.0.3. It is, therefore, affected by multiple
vulnerabilities:

  - Suricata can crash with a stack overflow due to poorly bounded recursion in HTTP/1 decompression. As a
    workaround, use default values for request-body-limit and response-body-limit. (CVE-2026-22260)

  - Inefficiency in HTTP/1 headers parsing can lead to slowdown over multiple packets. No known workarounds are
    available. (CVE-2026-22263)

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