Files or Directories Accessible to External Parties, Improper Privilege Management vulnerability in Apache Kafka Clients. Apache Kafka Clients accept configuration data for customizing behavior, and includes ConfigProvider plugins in order to manipulate these configurations. Apache Kafka also provides FileConfigProvider, DirectoryConfigProvider, and EnvVarConfigProvider implementations which include the ability to read from disk or environment variables. In applications where Apache Kafka Clients configurations can be specified by an untrusted party, attackers may use these ConfigProviders to read arbitrary contents of the disk and environment variables. In particular, this flaw may be used in Apache Kafka Connect to escalate from REST API access to filesystem/environment access, which may be undesirable in certain environments, including SaaS products. This issue affects Apache Kafka Clients: from 2.3.0 through 3.5.2, 3.6.2, 3.7.0. Users with affected applications are recommended to upgrade kafka-clients to version >=3.8.0, and set the JVM system property "org.apache.kafka.automatic.config.providers=none". Users of Kafka Connect with one of the listed ConfigProvider implementations specified in their worker config are also recommended to add appropriate "allowlist.pattern" and "allowed.paths" to restrict their operation to appropriate bounds. For users of Kafka Clients or Kafka Connect in environments that trust users with disk and environment variable access, it is not recommended to set the system property. For users of the Kafka Broker, Kafka MirrorMaker 2.0, Kafka Streams, and Kafka command-line tools, it is not recommended to set the system property.

The versions of Oracle Siebel CRM installed on the remote host are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the January 2026 CPU advisory.

  - Vulnerability in the Siebel CRM Deployment product of Oracle Siebel CRM (component: Application Interface     (Apache Log4j)). Supported versions that are affected are 17.0-25.10. Easily exploitable vulnerability     allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Siebel CRM Deployment.
    Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized access to critical data or complete     access to all Siebel CRM Deployment accessible data. (CVE-2024-31141, CVE-2025-27817)

  - Vulnerability in the Siebel CRM Deployment product of Oracle Siebel CRM (component: Application Interface     (Apache Tomcat)). Supported versions that are affected are 17.0-25.10. Easily exploitable vulnerability     allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Siebel CRM Deployment.
    Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized ability to cause a hang or frequently     repeatable crash (complete DOS) of Siebel CRM Deployment. (CVE-2025-48989)

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

The version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 4 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the TSSA-2024:1081 advisory.

    Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 4 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2024-31141:
    Files or Directories Accessible to External Parties, Improper Privilege Management vulnerability in Apache     Kafka Clients.
