patch available.

  - Net::IMAP implements Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) client functionality in Ruby. Prior to 0.6.5
    and 0.5.15, several Net::IMAP commands accept a raw data argument that is sent verbatim after validation
    to prevent command injection. However, if a server does not support non-synchronizing literals, it may
    still be possible to inject arbitrary IMAP commands inside non-synchronizing literals. A server without
    support for non-synchronizing literals may interpret the +}\r\n as the end of a malformed command line
    and respond with a tagged BAD. In that case, the contents of the literal will be interpreted as one or
    more new pipelined commands, allowing a CRLF command injection attack to succeed. This affects criteria
    for #search and #uid_search; search_keys for #sort, #thread, #uid_sort, and #uid_thread; and attr for
    #fetch and #uid_fetch. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.6.5 and 0.5.15. (CVE-2026-47240)

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