  - Adm-zip before 0.6.1 contains an incorrect permission assignment vulnerability that allows attackers to
    set setuid, setgid, or sticky bits on extracted files when keepOriginalPermission is enabled. Attackers
    can craft zip external file attributes that pass unmasked into chmod, letting attacker-controlled
    executables gain elevated privileges when extracted as root and later run. (CVE-2026-114105)

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