  - A security vulnerability has been detected in Tencent RapidJSON up to 1.1.0. This issue affects the
    function GenericStringStream<UTF8<char>>::Take in the library include/rapidjson/stream.h of the component
    Regex Parser. The manipulation leads to out-of-bounds read. The attack can be initiated remotely. The
    exploit has been disclosed publicly and may be used. The project was informed of the problem early through
    an issue report but has not responded yet. (CVE-2026-116620)

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