"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-099533 advisory.

    Mojo::JSON versions before 9.47 for Perl allow memory exhaustion via unbounded recursion in the pure-Perl
    decoder.

    The pure-Perl decode path (`_decode_value` dispatching to `_decode_array` and `_decode_object`) recurses
    with no depth limit, so a small deeply nested JSON document can consume excessive memory.

    This path is the default when Cpanel::JSON::XS is not installed or `MOJO_NO_JSON_XS=1` is set; the
    Cpanel::JSON::XS fast path is not affected.

    Any caller that decodes an untrusted JSON body, for example `Mojo::Message::json` reached through
    `$c->req->json`, can exhaust process memory and cause denial of service.

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

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