low Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 435728

Description

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

 - In Eclipse Vert.x versions [4.0.0, 4.5.21] and [5.0.0, 5.0.4], when "directory listing" is enabled, file
 and directory names are inserted into generated HTML without proper escaping in the href, title, and link
 attributes. An attacker who can create or rename files or directories within a served path can craft
 filenames containing malicious script or HTML content, leading to stored cross-site scripting (XSS) that
 executes in the context of users viewing the affected directory listing. (CVE-2025-11966)
