patch available.

  - URI.js is a Javascript URL mutation library. Before version 1.19.9, whitespace characters are not removed
    from the beginning of the protocol, so URLs are not parsed properly. This issue has been patched in
    version 1.19.9. Removing leading whitespace from values before passing them to URI.parse can be used as a
    workaround. (CVE-2022-24723)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
