Synopsis

The remote web application server is affected by a vulnerability

Description

The version of IBM WebSphere eXtreme Scale installed on the remote host is prior to 8.6.1.6 IBM. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the 7247893 advisory.

- Relative Path Traversal vulnerability in Apache Commons VFS before 2.10.0. The FileObject API in Commons VFS has a 'resolveFile' method that takes a 'scope' parameter. Specifying 'NameScope.DESCENDENT' promises that an exception is thrown if the resolved file is not a descendent of the base file. However, when the path contains encoded .. characters (for example, %2E%2E/bar.txt), it might return file objects that are not a descendent of the base file, without throwing an exception. This issue affects Apache Commons VFS: before 2.10.0. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.10.0, which fixes the issue.
(CVE-2025-27553)

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