"The version of Wazuh Server on the remote host is at least 4.5.0 and prior to 4.14.6. It is, therefore, affected by a
stack buffer overflow vulnerability:

  - compare_wazuh_versions() copies the attacker-controlled enrollment V: field into a 10-byte stack buffer without
    explicit null termination. A remote unauthenticated attacker can cause a denial of service via wazuh-authd on TCP
    port 1515 when anonymous TLS enrollment is enabled. (CVE-2026-45798)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
