The version of AOS installed on the remote host is prior to 7.0.1.6. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the NXSA-AOS-7.0.1.6 advisory.

  - Use of the low-level GF(2^m) elliptic curve APIs with untrusted explicit values for the field polynomial     can lead to out-of-bounds memory reads or writes. (CVE-2024-9143)

  - Issue summary: Use of the low-level GF(2^m) elliptic curve APIs with untrusted explicit values for the     field polynomial can lead to out-of-bounds memory reads or writes. Impact summary: Out of bound memory     writes can lead to an application crash or even a possibility of a remote code execution, however, in all     the protocols involving Elliptic Curve Cryptography that we're aware of, either only named curves are     supported, or, if explicit curve parameters are supported, they specify an X9.62 encoding of binary     (GF(2^m)) curves that can't represent problematic input values. Thus the likelihood of existence of a     vulnerable application is low. In particular, the X9.62 encoding is used for ECC keys in X.509     certificates, so problematic inputs cannot occur in the context of processing X.509 certificates. Any     problematic use-cases would have to be using an exotic curve encoding. The affected APIs include:
    EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m(), EC_GROUP_new_from_params(), and various supporting BN_GF2m_*() functions.
    Applications working with exotic explicit binary (GF(2^m)) curve parameters, that make it possible to     represent invalid field polynomials with a zero constant term, via the above or similar APIs, may     terminate abruptly as a result of reading or writing outside of array bounds. Remote code execution cannot     easily be ruled out. The FIPS modules in 3.3, 3.2, 3.1 and 3.0 are not affected by this issue.
    (CVE-2024-9143)

  - Path Equivalence: 'file.Name' (Internal Dot) leading to Remote Code Execution and/or Information     disclosure and/or malicious content added to uploaded files via write enabled Default Servlet in Apache     Tomcat. This issue affects Apache Tomcat: from 11.0.0-M1 through 11.0.2, from 10.1.0-M1 through 10.1.34,     from 9.0.0.M1 through 9.0.98. If all of the following were true, a malicious user was able to view     security sensitive files and/or inject content into those files: - writes enabled for the default servlet     (disabled by default) - support for partial PUT (enabled by default) - a target URL for security sensitive     uploads that was a sub-directory of a target URL for public uploads - attacker knowledge of the names of     security sensitive files being uploaded - the security sensitive files also being uploaded via partial PUT     If all of the following were true, a malicious user was able to perform remote code execution: - writes     enabled for the default servlet (disabled by default) - support for partial PUT (enabled by default) -     application was using Tomcat's file based session persistence with the default storage location -     application included a library that may be leveraged in a deserialization attack Users are recommended to     upgrade to version 11.0.3, 10.1.35 or 9.0.99, which fixes the issue. (CVE-2025-24813)

  - libxml2 before 2.12.10 and 2.13.x before 2.13.6 has a use-after-free in xmlSchemaIDCFillNodeTables and     xmlSchemaBubbleIDCNodeTables in xmlschemas.c. To exploit this, a crafted XML document must be validated     against an XML schema with certain identity constraints, or a crafted XML schema must be used.
    (CVE-2024-56171)

  - libxml2 before 2.12.10 and 2.13.x before 2.13.6 has a stack-based buffer overflow in xmlSnprintfElements     in valid.c. To exploit this, DTD validation must occur for an untrusted document or untrusted DTD. NOTE:
    this is similar to CVE-2017-9047. (CVE-2025-24928)

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