  - The llhttp parser in the http module in Node v20.2.0 does not strictly use the CRLF sequence to delimit
    HTTP requests. This can lead to HTTP Request Smuggling (HRS). The CR character (without LF) is sufficient
    to delimit HTTP header fields in the llhttp parser. According to RFC7230 section 3, only the CRLF sequence
    should delimit each header-field. This impacts all Node.js active versions: v16, v18, and, v20
    (CVE-2023-30589)

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