"The version of Wazuh Server on the remote host is at least 4.4.0 and prior to 4.14.6. It is, therefore, affected by a
log injection vulnerability:
- The Basic authentication username is decoded before credential validation and passed to the access logger without
neutralizing control characters. An unauthenticated attacker can include carriage returns or line feeds in the
username to forge log entries or obscure activity in the plain-text audit log. (CVE-2026-44256)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
