"The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied
patch available.

  - A security vulnerability has been discovered in bootstrap that could enable Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
    attacks. The vulnerability is associated with the data-loading-text attribute within the button plugin.
    This vulnerability can be exploited by injecting malicious JavaScript code into the attribute, which would
    then be executed when the button's loading state is triggered. (CVE-2024-6485)

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