There is no fixed version for RHEL:10 ruby193-mcollective.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ruby193-mcollective package and not the ruby193-mcollective package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

Versions of MCollective prior to 2.10.4 deserialized YAML from agents without calling safe_load, allowing the potential for arbitrary code execution on the server. The fix for this is to call YAML.safe_load on input. This has been tested in all Puppet-supplied MCollective plugins, but there is a chance that third-party plugins could rely on this insecure behavior.
