  - Eclipse Equinox OSGi 3.7.2 and earlier contains a remote code execution vulnerability that allows
    unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary commands by sending payloads to the console interface.
    Attackers can connect to the OSGi console port and send base64-encoded bash commands wrapped in fork
    directives to achieve code execution and establish reverse shell connections. (CVE-2023-54344)

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