Apache Log4j Core's XmlLayout https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/layouts.html#XmlLayout , in versions up to and including 2.25.3, fails to sanitize characters forbidden by the XML 1.0 specification https://www.w3.org/TR/xml/#charsets producing invalid XML output whenever a log message or MDC value contains such characters. The impact depends on the StAX implementation in use: * JRE built-in StAX: Forbidden characters are silently written to the output, producing malformed XML. Conforming parsers must reject such documents with a fatal error, which may cause downstream log-processing systems to drop the affected records. * Alternative StAX implementations (e.g., Woodstox https://github.com/FasterXML/woodstox , a transitive dependency of the Jackson XML Dataformat module): An exception is thrown during the logging call, and the log event is never delivered to its intended appender, only to Log4j's internal status logger. Users are advised to upgrade to Apache Log4j Core 2.25.4, which corrects this issue by sanitizing forbidden characters before XML output.

The 12.2.1.4.0 version of WebLogic Server installed on the remote host is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the July 2026 CPU advisory.

  - Apache Log4j Core's XmlLayout, in versions up to and including 2.25.3, fails to sanitize characters     forbidden by the XML 1.0 specification, producing invalid XML output whenever a log message or MDC value     contains such characters.

The version of AOS installed on the remote host is prior to 7.6. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the NXSA-AOS-7.6 advisory.

  - NLnet Labs Unbound 1.19.1 up to and including version 1.25.0 has a vulnerability in the DNSSEC validator     that enables denial of service and possible remote code execution as a result of deep copying a data     structure and erroneously overwriting a destination pointer. An adversary can exploit the vulnerability by     controlling a malicious signed zone and querying a vulnerable Unbound. When DS sub-queries need to suspend     validation due to NSEC3 computational budget exhaustion (introduced in Unbound 1.19.1), Unbound deep-     copies response messages to preserve them across memory region teardown. A struct-assignment bug     overwrites the destination's pointer with the source's pointer. After the sub-query region is freed, the     resumed validator dereferences this dangling pointer, triggering a crash or potentially enabling arbitrary     code execution. Unbound 1.25.1 contains a patch with a fix to preserve the correct pointer when deep     copying the data structure. (CVE-2026-33278)

  - A vulnerability has been found in GNU Binutils 2.45. The affected element is the function elf_swap_shdr in     the library bfd/elfcode.h of the component Linker. The manipulation leads to heap-based buffer overflow.
    The attack must be carried out locally. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. The     identifier of the patch is 9ca499644a21ceb3f946d1c179c38a83be084490. To fix this issue, it is recommended     to deploy a patch. The code maintainer replied with [f]ixed for 2.46. (CVE-2025-11083)

  - A heap-based buffer overflow problem was found in glib through an incorrect calculation of buffer size in     the g_escape_uri_string() function. If the string to escape contains a very large number of unacceptable     characters (which would need escaping), the calculation of the length of the escaped string could     overflow, leading to a potential write off the end of the newly allocated string. (CVE-2025-13601)

  - Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to version 9.1.1552, a path traversal issue in     Vim's tar.vim plugin can allow overwriting of arbitrary files when opening specially crafted tar archives.
    Impact is low because this exploit requires direct user interaction. However, successfully exploitation     can lead to overwriting sensitive files or placing executable code in privileged locations, depending on     the permissions of the process editing the archive. The victim must edit such a file using Vim which will     reveal the filename and the file content, a careful user may suspect some strange things going on.
    Successful exploitation could results in the ability to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying     operating system. Version 9.1.1552 contains a patch for the vulnerability. (CVE-2025-53905)

  - Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to version 9.1.1551, a path traversal issue in     Vim's zip.vim plugin can allow overwriting of arbitrary files when opening specially crafted zip archives.
    Impact is low because this exploit requires direct user interaction. However, successfully exploitation     can lead to overwriting sensitive files or placing executable code in privileged locations, depending on     the permissions of the process editing the archive. The victim must edit such a file using Vim which will     reveal the filename and the file content, a careful user may suspect some strange things going on.
    Successful exploitation could results in the ability to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying     operating system. Version 9.1.1551 contains a patch for the vulnerability. (CVE-2025-53906)

The version of Apache Log4j on the remote host is 2.0-alpha1 through 2.25.3. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability:

  - The XmlLayout fails to sanitize characters forbidden by the XML 1.0 specification, producing invalid XML     output whenever a log message or MDC value contains such characters. Depending on the StAX implementation,     this causes either malformed XML or exceptions during logging. (CVE-2026-34480)

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

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

  - Apache Log4j Core's XmlLayout https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/layouts.html#XmlLayout , in
    versions up to and including 2.25.3, fails to sanitize characters forbidden by the XML 1.0 specification
    https://www.w3.org/TR/xml/#charsets producing invalid XML output whenever a log message or MDC value
    contains such characters. The impact depends on the StAX implementation in use: * JRE built-in StAX:
    Forbidden characters are silently written to the output, producing malformed XML. Conforming parsers must
    reject such documents with a fatal error, which may cause downstream log-processing systems to drop the
    affected records. * Alternative StAX implementations (e.g., Woodstox https://github.com/FasterXML/woodstox
    , a transitive dependency of the Jackson XML Dataformat module): An exception is thrown during the logging
    call, and the log event is never delivered to its intended appender, only to Log4j's internal status
    logger. Users are advised to upgrade to Apache Log4j Core 2.25.4, which corrects this issue by sanitizing
    forbidden characters before XML output. (CVE-2026-34480)
