path-to-regexp turns path strings into a regular expressions. In certain cases, path-to-regexp will output a regular expression that can be exploited to cause poor performance. The regular expression that is vulnerable to backtracking can be generated in the 0.1.x release of path-to-regexp. Upgrade to 0.1.12. This vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2024-45296.

The version of IBM Spectrum Protect Plus Web UI installed on the remote host is prior to 10.1.17.1 IBM Spectrum Protect Plus. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the 7237702 advisory.

  - This affects the package node-notifier before 9.0.0. It allows an attacker to run arbitrary commands on     Linux machines due to the options params not being sanitised when being passed an array. (CVE-2020-7789)

  - Flask is a lightweight WSGI web application framework. When all of the following conditions are met, a     response containing data intended for one client may be cached and subsequently sent by the proxy to other     clients. If the proxy also caches `Set-Cookie` headers, it may send one client's `session` cookie to other     clients. The severity depends on the application's use of the session and the proxy's behavior regarding     cookies. The risk depends on all these conditions being met. 1. The application must be hosted behind a     caching proxy that does not strip cookies or ignore responses with cookies. 2. The application sets     `session.permanent = True` 3. The application does not access or modify the session at any point during a     request. 4. `SESSION_REFRESH_EACH_REQUEST` enabled (the default). 5. The application does not set a     `Cache-Control` header to indicate that a page is private or should not be cached. This happens because     vulnerable versions of Flask only set the `Vary: Cookie` header when the session is accessed or modified,     not when it is refreshed (re-sent to update the expiration) without being accessed or modified. This issue     has been fixed in versions 2.3.2 and 2.2.5. (CVE-2023-30861)

  - Requests is a HTTP library. Since Requests 2.3.0, Requests has been leaking Proxy-Authorization headers to     destination servers when redirected to an HTTPS endpoint. This is a product of how we use     `rebuild_proxies` to reattach the `Proxy-Authorization` header to requests. For HTTP connections sent     through the tunnel, the proxy will identify the header in the request itself and remove it prior to     forwarding to the destination server. However when sent over HTTPS, the `Proxy-Authorization` header must     be sent in the CONNECT request as the proxy has no visibility into the tunneled request. This results in     Requests forwarding proxy credentials to the destination server unintentionally, allowing a malicious     actor to potentially exfiltrate sensitive information. This issue has been patched in version 2.31.0.
    (CVE-2023-32681)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues 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.

  - path-to-regexp turns path strings into a regular expressions. In certain cases, path-to-regexp will output     a regular expression that can be exploited to cause poor performance. The regular expression that is     vulnerable to backtracking can be generated in the 0.1.x release of path-to-regexp. Upgrade to 0.1.12.

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

The version of reaper installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2024-52798 advisory.
