  - protobuf.js (aka protobufjs) 6.10.0 through 7.x before 7.2.5 allows Prototype Pollution, a different
    vulnerability than CVE-2022-25878. A user-controlled protobuf message can be used by an attacker to
    pollute the prototype of Object.prototype by adding and overwriting its data and functions. Exploitation
    can involve: (1) using the function parse to parse protobuf messages on the fly, (2) loading .proto files
    by using load/loadSync functions, or (3) providing untrusted input to the functions
    ReflectionObject.setParsedOption and util.setProperty. (CVE-2023-36665)

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