"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-104839 advisory.

    A flaw was found in OpenSSH. A local unprivileged attacker on a Linux client host can hijack client-side
    X11 forwarding connections. This is possible by pre-binding the preferred abstract X socket name when X11
    forwarding is enabled and a local UNIX-domain X socket is used. A successful attack can compromise the
    confidentiality of forwarded X11 traffic, including sensitive window contents and input, and may allow
    some manipulation of the forwarded session.

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.");
