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

  - In ONNX before 1.21.0, the 'save_external_data' function builds the external-data file path from the
    model's external_data location field and opens it for writing without 'O_NOFOLLOW/O_EXCL', after a non-
    atomic 'os.path.isfile()' check. A local attacker with write access to the directory where a victim
    serializes external data can deterministically pre-plant a symlink that is being followed, causing the
    victim's write to append to any file the victim can write, e.g. ~/.ssh/authorized_keys, cron files, or
    application configs. Fixed in 1.21.0. (CVE-2026-49114)

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