  - Next.js is a React framework for building full-stack web applications. In versions before 14.2.31 and from
    15.0.0 to before 15.4.5, Next.js Image Optimization is vulnerable to content injection. The issue allowed
    attacker-controlled external image sources to trigger file downloads with arbitrary content and filenames
    under specific configurations. This behavior could be abused for phishing or malicious file delivery. This
    vulnerability has been fixed in Next.js versions 14.2.31 and 15.4.5. (CVE-2025-55173)

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