"The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied
patch available.
- rclone before v1.75.0 fails to sanitize IBM IAM bearer tokens and SSE-C encryption keys during S3 redirect
callbacks, allowing credentials to be preserved across scheme or host changes. Attackers observing network
traffic from a trusted endpoint can capture reusable IBM IAM tokens on same-host HTTPS-to-HTTP downgrades
or SSE-C keys on cross-origin redirects to access protected S3 objects. (CVE-2026-79780)
Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
