  - A YAML deserialization vulnerability was found in the Robot Operating System (ROS) 'dynparam', a command-
    line tool for getting, setting, and deleting parameters of a dynamically configurable node, affecting ROS
    distributions Noetic and earlier. The issue is caused by the use of the yaml.load() function in the 'set'
    and 'get' verbs, and allows for the creation of arbitrary Python objects. Through this flaw, a local or
    remote user can craft and execute arbitrary Python code. (CVE-2024-39780)

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