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

  - adm-zip through 0.6.1 contains a duplicate-entry validation bypass that allows attackers to evade the
    readEntries() check by using canonically equivalent entry names like './hello.txt' and 'hello.txt'.
    Attackers can craft ZIP archives where getEntry() or readAsText() validates benign content while
    extractAllTo() writes malicious content to the same path, bypassing integrity checks. (CVE-2026-116137)

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