"The version of Wazuh Server on the remote host is at least 4.3.0 and prior to 4.14.6. It is, therefore, affected by a
path traversal vulnerability:

  - The non-merged branch of process_files_from_worker() trusts a peer-controlled file_path key from
    files_metadata.json. A cluster peer holding the shared Fernet key can upload a crafted archive and overwrite
    security-sensitive files such as ossec.conf, leading to code execution after a service reload.
    (CVE-2026-49441)

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