The version of Atlassian Confluence installed on the remote host is prior to 7.4.x < 7.4.17 / 7.13.x < 7.13.7 / 7.14.x < 7.14.3 / 7.15.x < 7.15.2 / 7.16.x < 7.16.4 / 7.17.x < 7.17.4 / 7.18.x < 7.18.1. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CONFSERVER-79017 advisory.

  - *Summary* A remote attacker who can connect to the Hazelcast service, running on port 5801 (and     potentially 5701), is able to execute arbitrary code on all the nodes in a Confluence Data Center through     Java deserialization. *Vulnerability Details* Confluence Data Center uses the third-party software     Hazelcast, which is vulnerable to Java deserialization attacks (CVE-2016-10750). Hazelcast provides     functionality needed to run Confluence Data Center as a cluster. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can     exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially crafted JoinRequest, resulting in arbitrary code     execution. The affected versions are from 1.3.0 before 7.4.17, from 7.13.0 before 7.13.7, from 7.14.0     before 7.14.3, from 7.15.0 before 7.15.2, from 7.16.0 before 7.16.4, from 7.17.0 before 7.17.4, and from     7.18.0 before 7.18.1.
