Spring Framework MVC applications can be vulnerable to a “Path Traversal Vulnerability” when deployed on a non-compliant Servlet container. An application can be vulnerable when all the following are true: * the application is deployed as a WAR or with an embedded Servlet container * the Servlet container does not reject suspicious sequences https://jakarta.ee/specifications/servlet/6.1/jakarta-servlet-spec-6.1.html#uri-path-canonicalization * the application serves static resources https://docs.spring.io/spring-framework/reference/web/webmvc/mvc-config/static-resources.html#page-title with Spring resource handling We have verified that applications deployed on Apache Tomcat or Eclipse Jetty are not vulnerable, as long as default security features are not disabled in the configuration. Because we cannot check exploits against all Servlet containers and configuration variants, we strongly recommend upgrading your application.

nutanix NXSA-AOS-7.0.1.13: Nutanix AOS: NXSA-AOS-7.0.1.13

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

  - Vulnerability in the Primavera Unifier product of Oracle Construction and Engineering (component:
    Integration (Apache Tika)). Supported versions that are affected are 21.12.0-21.12.17, 22.12.0-22.12.15,     23.12.0-23.12.16, 24.12.0-24.12.12 and 25.12.0. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated     attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Primavera Unifier. While the vulnerability is in     Primavera Unifier, attacks may significantly impact additional products (scope change). Successful attacks     of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of Primavera     Unifier accessible data as well as unauthorized read access to a subset of Primavera Unifier accessible     data and unauthorized ability to cause a partial denial of service (partial DOS) of Primavera Unifier.
    (CVE-2025-66516)

  - Vulnerability in the Primavera Unifier product of Oracle Construction and Engineering (component: Reports     (iTextPDF)). Supported versions that are affected are 21.12.0-21.12.17, 22.12.0-22.12.15,     23.12.0-23.12.16, 24.12.0-24.12.12 and 25.12.0. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated     attacker with network access via HTTPS to compromise Primavera Unifier. Successful attacks of this     vulnerability can result in takeover of Primavera Unifier. (CVE-2021-43113)

  - Vulnerability in the Primavera Unifier product of Oracle Construction and Engineering (component:
    Integration (Spring Framework)). Supported versions that are affected are 22.12.0-22.12.15,     23.12.0-23.12.16, 24.12.0-24.12.12 and 25.12.0. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated     attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Primavera Unifier. Successful attacks of this     vulnerability can result in unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Primavera     Unifier accessible data. (CVE-2025-41242, CVE-2025-41249)

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.

  - Spring Framework MVC applications can be vulnerable to a Path Traversal Vulnerability when deployed on a     non-compliant Servlet container. An application can be vulnerable when all the following are true: * the     application is deployed as a WAR or with an embedded Servlet container * the Servlet container does not     reject suspicious sequences https://jakarta.ee/specifications/servlet/6.1/jakarta-servlet-     spec-6.1.html#uri-path-canonicalization * the application serves static resources     https://docs.spring.io/spring-framework/reference/web/webmvc/mvc-config/static-resources.html#page-title     with Spring resource handling We have verified that applications deployed on Apache Tomcat or Eclipse     Jetty are not vulnerable, as long as default security features are not disabled in the configuration.
    Because we cannot check exploits against all Servlet containers and configuration variants, we strongly     recommend upgrading your application. (CVE-2025-41242)

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

The version of Spring Framework installed on the remote host is 5.3.x prior to 5.3.44, 6.1.x prior to 6.1.22, or 6.2.x prior to 6.2.810. It is, therefore, affected by a path traversal vulnerability:
