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

  - gitoxide's gix-url crate (<= 0.32.0, fixed in 0.37.1) uses a hand-rolled URL parser that does not treat
    '?' or '#' as terminating the authority component, contrary to RFC 3986. As a consequence, gix-transport's
    HTTP redirect identity guard (can_reuse_identity) compares the wrong host and fails open. An attacker
    controlling a redirect response can craft a Location header of the form <attacker-authority>?@<original-
    authority> so that gitoxide sends the caller's HTTP Basic Authorization credentials to an unintended host.
    gix-transport is affected in versions <= 0.49.0 (fixed in 0.58.1). (CVE-2026-82247)

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