Spring Security 5.4.x prior to 5.4.4, 5.3.x prior to 5.3.8.RELEASE, 5.2.x prior to 5.2.9.RELEASE, and older unsupported versions can fail to save the SecurityContext if it is changed more than once in a single request.A malicious user cannot cause the bug to happen (it must be programmed in). However, if the application's intent is to only allow the user to run with elevated privileges in a small portion of the application, the bug can be leveraged to extend those privileges to the rest of the application.

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

  - Spring Security 5.4.x prior to 5.4.4, 5.3.x prior to 5.3.8.RELEASE, 5.2.x prior to 5.2.9.RELEASE, and
    older unsupported versions can fail to save the SecurityContext if it is changed more than once in a
    single request.A malicious user cannot cause the bug to happen (it must be programmed in). However, if the
    application's intent is to only allow the user to run with elevated privileges in a small portion of the
    application, the bug can be leveraged to extend those privileges to the rest of the application.
    (CVE-2021-22112)

The 8.0.25 versions of MySQL Enterprise Monitor installed on the remote host are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the October 2021 CPU advisory.

  - Vulnerability in the MySQL Enterprise Monitor product of Oracle MySQL (component: Monitoring: General     (Spring Security)). Supported versions that are affected are 8.0.25 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 takeover of MySQL Enterprise Monitor. (CVE-2021-22112)

  - Vulnerability in the Oracle Retail Predictive Application Server product of Oracle Retail Applications     (component: RPAS Fusion Client (Spring Framework)). Supported versions that are affected are 14.1.3,     15.0.3 and 16.0.3. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with logon to the     infrastructure where Oracle Retail Predictive Application Server executes to compromise Oracle Retail     Predictive Application Server. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Oracle     Retail Predictive Application Server. (CVE-2021-22118)

  - Vulnerability in the MySQL Workbench product of Oracle MySQL (component: MySQL Workbench (OpenSSL)).
    Supported versions that are affected are 8.0.26 and prior. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows     unauthenticated attacker with network access via MySQL Workbench to compromise MySQL Workbench. Successful     attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all     MySQL Workbench accessible data and unauthorized ability to cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash     (complete DOS) of MySQL Workbench. (CVE-2021-3712)

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 version of Jenkins running on the remote web server is Jenkins weekly prior to 2.280. It is, therefore, affected by a privilege escalation vulnerability due to a failure in saving the SecurityContext if it is changed more than once in a single request. If the application's intent is to only allow the user to run with elevated privileges in a small portion of the application, an authenticated remote attacker can leverage this bug to extend those privileges to the rest of the application.
