  - Insufficient Session Expiration vulnerability in Apache Tomcat meant that if the session ID for an
    authenticated HTTP session was changed after a WebSocket connection had been established under that
    authenticated HTTP session, the WebSokcet session would not be closed as required by the Jakarta WebSocket
    specification when the HTTP session ended. This issue affects Apache Tomcat: from 11.0.0-M1 through
    11.0.24, from 10.1.0-M1 through 10.1.57, from 9.0.0.M1 through 9.0.120. The following versions were EOL at
    the time the CVE was created but are known to be affected: from 8.5.0 through 8.5.100, from 7.0.43 through
    7.0.109. Other unsupported versions may also be affected. Users are recommended to upgrade to version
    11.0.25, 10.1.58 or 9.0.121, which fix the issue. (CVE-2026-73180)

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