  - Miniflux 2 is an open source feed reader. Prior to 2.3.1, IsRelativePath in internal/urllib/url.go accepts
    redirect targets containing backslashes because Go URL parsing treats them as path characters. Browser
    backslash normalization converts them to forward slashes. An unauthenticated attacker can provide such a
    redirect_url value to the login flow, bypass the relative-path and host checks, and redirect a victim to
    an attacker-controlled external site. This issue is fixed in version 2.3.1. (CVE-2026-55185)

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