Apache Shiro before 1.13.0 or 2.0.0-alpha-4, may be susceptible to a path traversal attack that results in an authentication bypass when used together with path rewriting Mitigation: Update to Apache Shiro 1.13.0+ or 2.0.0-alpha-4+, or ensure `blockSemicolon` is enabled (this is the default).

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

  - Apache Shiro before 1.13.0 or 2.0.0-alpha-4, may be susceptible to a path traversal attack that results in     an authentication bypass when used together with path rewriting Mitigation: Update to Apache Shiro 1.13.0+     or 2.0.0-alpha-4+, or ensure `blockSemicolon` is enabled (this is the default). (CVE-2023-46749)

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:

  - Apache Shiro before 1.13.0 or 2.0.0-alpha-4, may be susceptible to a path traversal attack that results in
    an authentication bypass when used together with path rewriting Mitigation: Update to Apache Shiro 1.13.0+
    or 2.0.0-alpha-4+, or ensure `blockSemicolon` is enabled (this is the default). (CVE-2023-46749)

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS / 24.10 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-7147-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that Apache Shiro incorrectly handled path traversal when used with other web frameworks     or path rewriting. An attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive information or     administrative privileges. This update provides the corresponding fix for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and Ubuntu     24.10. (CVE-2023-34478, CVE-2023-46749)

    It was discovered that Apache Shiro incorrectly handled web redirects when used together with the form     authentication method. An attacker could possibly use this issue to perform phishing attacks. This update     provides the corresponding fix for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and Ubuntu 24.10. (CVE-2023-46750)

    It was discovered that Apache Shiro incorrectly handled requests through servlet filtering. An attacker     could possibly use this issue to obtain administrative privileges. This update provides the corresponding     fix for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. (CVE-2016-6802)

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.
