Apache Neethi is vulnerable to a Denial of Service attack through algorithmic complexity in policy normalization. Specially crafted WS-Policy documents can trigger an exponential Cartesian cross-product expansion during the normalization process, causing unbounded memory allocation that exhausts the JVM heap. This occurs when the normalization process generates an excessive number of policy alternatives without bounds, leading to runtime memory exhaustion. Users should upgrade to 3.2.2 which limits the maximum number of normalized policy alternatives.

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

  - Apache Neethi is vulnerable to a Denial of Service attack through algorithmic complexity in policy
    normalization. Specially crafted WS-Policy documents can trigger an exponential Cartesian cross-product
    expansion during the normalization process, causing unbounded memory allocation that exhausts the JVM
    heap. This occurs when the normalization process generates an excessive number of policy alternatives
    without bounds, leading to runtime memory exhaustion. Users should upgrade to 3.2.2 which limits the
    maximum number of normalized policy alternatives. (CVE-2026-42402)

The version of IBM Cognos Analytics installed on the remote host is 12.0.4 prior to 12.0.4 FP3, or 12.1.x prior to 12.1.3 FP2. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the IBM Security Bulletin No.
7287209:

  - NLTK versions 3.9.2 and prior are vulnerable to arbitrary code execution due to improper input     validation in the StanfordSegmenter module. The module dynamically loads external Java .jar files     without verification or sandboxing. An attacker can supply or replace the JAR file, enabling the     execution of arbitrary Java bytecode at import time. (CVE-2026-0848)

  - The lodash fix for CVE-2021-23337 added validation for the variable option in _.template but did not     apply the same validation to options.imports key names. Both paths flow into the same Function()     constructor sink. When an application passes untrusted input as options.imports key names, an attacker     can inject default-parameter expressions that execute arbitrary code at template compilation time.
    (CVE-2026-4800)

  - cryptography is a package designed to expose cryptographic primitives and recipes to Python developers.
    From 45.0.0 to before 46.0.7, if a non-contiguous buffer was passed to APIs which accepted Python     buffers (e.g. Hash.update()), this could lead to buffer overflows. (CVE-2026-39892)

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

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

  - Vulnerability in the Primavera Unifier product of Oracle Construction and Engineering (component:
    Integration (Lodash)). Supported versions that are affected are 21.12.0-21.12.17, 22.12.0-22.12.15,     23.12.0-23.12.16, 24.12.0-24.12.14 and 25.12.0-25.12.6. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows     unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Primavera Unifier. Successful attacks     of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Primavera Unifier. (CVE-2026-4800)

  - Vulnerability in the Primavera Unifier product of Oracle Construction and Engineering (component:
    Integration (Apache ZooKeeper)). Supported versions that are affected are 21.12.0-21.12.17,     22.12.0-22.12.15, 23.12.0-23.12.16, 24.12.0-24.12.14 and 25.12.0-25.12.6. 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-2026-24308)

  - Vulnerability in the Primavera Unifier product of Oracle Construction and Engineering (component: Platform     (Apache Log4j)). Supported versions that are affected are 21.12.0-21.12.17, 22.12.0-22.12.15,     23.12.0-23.12.16, 24.12.0-24.12.14 and 25.12.0-25.12.6. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows     unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Primavera Unifier. Successful attacks     of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized creation, deletion or modification access to critical data     or all Primavera Unifier accessible data. (CVE-2026-34481)
