"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 versions 0.3.0 through 0.6.0, two
independent quadratic paths can cause denial of service. In lib/sax.js, parseElementStartPart repeatedly
rescans a malformed tag name to the next > during single-character recovery; in lib/dom.js, normalize()
repeatedly removes and appends adjacent text nodes, causing quadratic reindexing and string rebuilding.
The first path is reachable through default DOMParser.parseFromString() processing, while the second is
also reachable through a direct normalize() call on a programmatically constructed DOM, and endDocument
invokes that normalization after parsing. This issue is fixed in @xmldom/xmldom versions 0.8.15 and
0.9.12; no fixed version is available for xmldom. (CVE-2026-83614)
Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
