The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the UTSA-2026-016731 advisory.

    In Spring Framework versions 5.2.0 - 5.2.8, 5.1.0 - 5.1.17, 5.0.0 - 5.0.18, 4.3.0 - 4.3.28, and older     unsupported versions, the protections against RFD attacks from CVE-2015-5211 may be bypassed depending on     the browser used through the use of a jsessionid path parameter.

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

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

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - In Spring Framework versions 5.2.0 - 5.2.8, 5.1.0 - 5.1.17, 5.0.0 - 5.0.18, 4.3.0 - 4.3.28, and older     unsupported versions, the protections against RFD attacks from CVE-2015-5211 may be bypassed depending on     the browser used through the use of a jsessionid path parameter. (CVE-2020-5421)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

  - In Spring Framework versions 5.2.0 - 5.2.8, 5.1.0 - 5.1.17, 5.0.0 - 5.0.18, 4.3.0 - 4.3.28, and older
    unsupported versions, the protections against RFD attacks from CVE-2015-5211 may be bypassed depending on
    the browser used through the use of a jsessionid path parameter. (CVE-2020-5421)

MySQL Enterprise Monitor installed on the remote host is 8.0.x prior to 8.0.23. Therefore, it's affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the January 2021 CPU advisory.

  - Vulnerability in the MySQL Enterprise Monitor product of Oracle MySQL (component: Service Manager (Apache     Commons BeanUtils)). Supported versions that are affected are 8.0.22 and prior. Easily exploitable     vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTPS to compromise MySQL Enterprise     Monitor. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized update, insert or delete     access to some of MySQL Enterprise Monitor accessible data as well as unauthorized read access to a subset     of MySQL Enterprise Monitor accessible data and unauthorized ability to cause a partial denial of service     (partial DOS) of MySQL Enterprise Monitor. (CVE-2019-10086)

  - Vulnerability in the MySQL Enterprise Monitor product of Oracle MySQL (component: Service Manager (Spring     Framework)). Supported versions that are affected are 8.0.22 and prior. Difficult to exploit vulnerability     allows low privileged attacker with network access via HTTPS to compromise MySQL Enterprise Monitor.
    Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker and while the     vulnerability is in MySQL Enterprise Monitor, attacks may significantly impact additional products.
    Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized creation, deletion or modification     access to critical data or all MySQL Enterprise Monitor accessible data as well as unauthorized read     access to a subset of MySQL Enterprise Monitor accessible data. (CVE-2020-5421)

  - Vulnerability in the MySQL Enterprise Monitor product of Oracle MySQL (component: Service Manager (Spring     Security)). Supported versions that are affected are 8.0.22 and prior. Easily exploitable vulnerability     allows low privileged attacker with network access via HTTPS to compromise MySQL Enterprise Monitor.
    Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized access to critical data or complete     access to all MySQL Enterprise Monitor accessible data. (CVE-2020-5408)

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

According to its self-reported version number, the Oracle Primavera P6 Enterprise Project Portfolio Management (EPPM) installation running on the remote web server is 16.2.x through 16.2.20.0, 17.12.x through 17.12.19, 18.8.x through 18.8.21, 19.12.1.x prior to 19.12.10. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the January 2021 CPU advisory.:

  - Vulnerability in the Primavera P6 Enterprise Project Portfolio Management product of Oracle Construction     and Engineering (component: Web access (Spring Framework)). Supported versions that are affected are     16.1.0 through 16.2.20, 17.1.0 through 17.12.19, 18.1.0 through 18.8.21 and 19.12.0 through 19.12.10.
    Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise     Primavera P6 Enterprise Project Portfolio Management. Successful attacks require human interaction from a     person other than the attacker and while the vulnerability is in Primavera P6 Enterprise Project Portfolio     Management, attacks may significantly impact additional products. Successful attacks of this vulnerability     can result in unauthorized creation, deletion or modification access to critical data or all Primavera P6     Enterprise Project Portfolio Management accessible data as well as unauthorized read access to a subset of     Primavera P6 Enterprise Project Portfolio Management accessible data.

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

The version of tested product installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the January 2021 CPU advisory.

  - Vulnerability in the Primavera Gateway product of Oracle Construction and Engineering (component: Admin     (Apache Ant)). Supported versions that are affected are 16.2.0-16.2.11 and 17.12.0-17.12.9. Easily     exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise     Primavera Gateway. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized creation, deletion     or modification access to critical data or all Primavera Gateway accessible data. (CVE-2020-11979)
