"The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied
patch available.
- Zod schema-validation library through 4.6.5 contains an uncontrolled resource consumption vulnerability
that allows attackers to exhaust memory by submitting a large array to an application using an array
schema without a length constraint. Attackers can exploit the handleArrayResult parse logic in $ZodArray,
which accumulates every validation issue for each failing element with no cap or early termination,
causing the process to allocate excessive issue objects and crash due to out-of-memory conditions.
(CVE-2023-54404)
