"The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied
patch available.
- In Znuny through 7.3.6, an attacker can bypass specific standard login procedures and gain unauthorized
access to sensitive system functions by manipulating a specific HTTP request header. Because the
application incorrectly trusts this header, an attacker can impersonate any user, including
administrators, without requiring a password. This grants full access to confidential data and system
controls. More specifically, the HTTPBasicAuth modules for the agent (Kernel::System::Auth::HTTPBasicAuth)
and customer (Kernel::System::CustomerAuth::HTTPBasicAuth) interfaces read the username to log in not only
from $ENV{REMOTE_USER} (set by the web server after successful authentication), but also, as a fallback,
from $ENV{HTTP_REMOTE_USER}, which is populated directly from an attacker-controllable Remote-User
request header. On systems where HTTPBasicAuth was configured as the authentication backend, this allowed
an attacker to log in as any existing user by sending a request with a forged Remote-User header, without
providing any credentials. (CVE-2026-93483)
Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
