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

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists in self-hosted Next.js applications that have `remotePatterns`
    configured for the Image Optimizer. The image optimization endpoint (`/_next/image`) loads external images
    entirely into memory without enforcing a maximum size limit, allowing an attacker to cause out-of-memory
    conditions by requesting optimization of arbitrarily large images. This vulnerability requires that
    `remotePatterns` is configured to allow image optimization from external domains and that the attacker can
    serve or control a large image on an allowed domain. Strongly consider upgrading to 15.5.10 or 16.1.5 to
    reduce risk and prevent availability issues in Next applications. (CVE-2025-59471)

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