Synopsis

An application installed on the remote host is affected by a vulnerability.

Description

The version of Infoblox NIOS installed on the remote host is affected by a vulnerability in OpenSSH. Inadequate input sanitization within a specific component can lead to authenticated Remote Code Execution (RCE) and unauthorized user-level shell access. However, this requires valid admin credentials to exploit.

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