The remote Ubuntu 22.04 LTS / 23.10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6822-1 advisory.

It was discovered that Node.js incorrectly handled certain inputs when it is using the policy mechanism.
If a user or an automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted input file, a remote     attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass the policy mechanism. (CVE-2023-32002, CVE-2023-32006)

It was discovered that Node.js incorrectly handled certain inputs when it is using the policy mechanism.
If a user or an automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted input file, a remote     attacker could possibly use this issue to perform a privilege escalation. (CVE-2023-32559)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the applicationโ€™s self-reported version number.
