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

  - Asymmetric resource consumption (amplification) vulnerability in Apache Struts. When a request parameter
    is bound to an arbitrary-precision decimal (java.math.BigDecimal) property that is then rendered through
    the Struts tag library, the framework can produce a response many orders of magnitude larger than the
    request, allowing an unauthenticated remote attacker to exhaust server CPU and outbound network capacity
    with sustained low-volume traffic. Applications that do not bind request parameters to BigDecimal
    properties, or never render such a property through the Struts tag library, are not affected. This issue
    affects Apache Struts: from 2.5.14 through 2.5.33, from 6.0.0 through 6.11.0, from 7.0.0 through 7.3.0.
    Users are recommended to upgrade to version 6.12.0 or 7.4.0, which fixes the issue. (CVE-2026-104712)

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