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

  - xmldom is a pure JavaScript W3C standard-based (XML DOM Level 2 Core) DOMParser and XMLSerializer module.
    Prior to @xmldom/xmldom versions 0.8.15 and 0.9.12, and in xmldom version 0.6.0 and earlier,
    DOMParser.parseFromString() can silently accept an end tag such as </a\njunk>, close the element, and
    discard the trailing content. On 0.9.x, the lib/sax.js end-tag validator inherits the multiline flag from
    reg(), allowing the first line to satisfy the anchored XML ETag production; older lines have no equivalent
    residue validation. This parser differential can bypass a parse-before-trust well-formedness gate,
    although it does not inject the discarded content; onError on 0.9.x and errorHandler on 0.8.x are the
    relevant reporting interfaces. This issue is fixed in @xmldom/xmldom versions 0.8.15 and 0.9.12; no fixed
    version is available for xmldom. (CVE-2026-83611)

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