"The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare
ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2026:1778881463 advisory.

  - A Cross-site request forgery vulnerability exists in ipa/session/login_password in all supported versions
    of IPA. This flaw allows an attacker to trick the user into submitting a request that could perform
    actions as the user, resulting in a loss of confidentiality and system integrity. During community
    penetration testing it was found that for certain HTTP end-points FreeIPA does not ensure CSRF protection.
    Due to implementation details one cannot use this flaw for reflection of a cookie representing already
    logged-in user. An attacker would always have to go through a new authentication attempt. (CVE-2023-5455)

  - A flaw was found in the FreeIPA API audit, where it sends the whole FreeIPA command line to journalctl. As
    a consequence, during the FreeIPA installation process, it inadvertently leaks the administrative user
    credentials, including the administrator password, to the journal database. In the worst-case scenario,
    where the journal log is centralized, users with access to it can have improper access to the FreeIPA
    administrator credentials. (CVE-2024-11029)

  - A flaw was found in FreeIPA. This issue may allow a remote attacker to craft a HTTP request with
    parameters that can be interpreted as command arguments to kinit on the FreeIPA server, which can lead to
    a denial of service. (CVE-2024-1481)

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