The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 23.10 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6748-1 advisory.

It was discovered that Sanitize incorrectly handled noscript elements under certain circumstances. An     attacker could possibly use this issue to execute a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack. This issue only     affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. (CVE-2023-23627)

It was discovered that Sanitize incorrectly handled style elements under certain circumstances. An     attacker could possibly use this issue to execute a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack. (CVE-2023-36823)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
