  - Rack is a modular Ruby web server interface. From versions 3.0.0.beta1 to before 3.1.21 and 3.2.0 to
    before 3.2.6, Rack::Utils.forwarded_values parses the RFC 7239 Forwarded header by splitting on semicolons
    before handling quoted-string values. Because quoted values may legally contain semicolons, a header can
    be interpreted by Rack as multiple Forwarded directives rather than as a single quoted for value. In
    deployments where an upstream proxy, WAF, or intermediary validates or preserves quoted Forwarded values
    differently, this discrepancy can allow an attacker to smuggle host, proto, for, or by parameters through
    a single header value. This issue has been patched in versions 3.1.21 and 3.2.6. (CVE-2026-32762)

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