  - Highcharts JS is a JavaScript charting library based on SVG. From 10.0.0 until 11.4.9, 12.6.1, and 13.1.0,
    Highcharts applies breadcrumbs.style as SVG attributes rather than CSS and does not filter the attribute
    names. An attacker who controls chart configuration can provide event-handler keys through
    drilldown.breadcrumbs, navigation.breadcrumbs, or hierarchical series breadcrumb options. The keys become
    active handlers on the breadcrumb button and execute in the hosting page origin after the user navigates
    to a level and hovers over or activates the button. Styled-mode charts do not apply this option and are
    not affected. This issue is fixed in 11.4.9, 12.6.1 and 13.1.0. (CVE-2026-118246)

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