The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-4531-1 advisory.

  • Busybox contains a Missing SSL certificate validation vulnerability in The busybox wget applet that can result in arbitrary code execution. This attack appear to be exploitable via Simply download any file over HTTPS using busybox wget https://compromised-domain.com/important-file. (CVE-2018-1000500)

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