  - ammonia is a Rust library for repairing and securing untrusted HTML. Prior to 3.3.2, 4.0.2, and 4.1.3,
    applications that explicitly allow the math tag, annotation-xml, and at least one raw-text HTML element
    while disallowing the encoding attribute can permit mutation cross-site scripting. ammonia does not
    correctly implement annotation-xml's encoding-dependent MathML integration-point behavior after attribute
    filtering removes encoding, so the sanitizer validates a descendant under one namespace interpretation
    while the browser reparses the output under another. An attacker can use that namespace transition and an
    allowed raw-text HTML element to execute JavaScript when a user renders the sanitized output. The required
    tags are not enabled by default, so applications that do not explicitly allow them are not affected. This
    issue is fixed in versions 3.3.2, 4.0.2, and 4.1.3. (CVE-2026-63430)

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