high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 443117

Description

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

- GeoServer is an open source server that allows users to share and edit geospatial data. Prior to versions
2.26.4 and 2.27.3, a vulnerability exists that allows an authenticated administrator with access to
GeoServer's security system to pass arbitrary file names to the Master Password Dump web page and create
files containing the master password in plaintext. The provided file name must be an absolute path to the
target file, the target file can not already exist and all parent directories must already exist. Versions
2.26.4 and 2.27.3 contain a fix. GeoServer installations where the web interface is either disabled or
completely removed are not affected since the vulnerability exists in one of the web pages.
(CVE-2025-52465)

Update the org.geoserver.web:gs-web-app library and its related packages to version 2.26.4 or later.
