"The version of Wazuh Server on the remote host is 4.9.0 prior to 4.10.4, or 4.11.0 prior to 4.14.6. It is, therefore,
affected by an incorrect authorization vulnerability:
- PUT /security/users/{user_id} passes request.get('user') instead of request.context['token_info']['sub'] as
current_user. An authenticated user with the users_admin role can overwrite the password of protected
administrator accounts and gain full administrative control. (CVE-2026-41424)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
