Nutanix AOS : Multiple Vulnerabilities (NXSA-AOS-7.0.1.13)
high Nessus Plugin ID 299020
Synopsis
The Nutanix AOS host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities .Description
The version of AOS installed on the remote host is prior to 7.0.1.13. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the NXSA-AOS-7.0.1.13 advisory.- Under certain circumstances, BIND is too lenient when accepting records from answers, allowing an attacker to inject forged data into the cache. This issue affects BIND 9 versions 9.11.0 through 9.16.50, 9.18.0 through 9.18.39, 9.20.0 through 9.20.13, 9.21.0 through 9.21.12, 9.11.3-S1 through 9.16.50-S1, 9.18.11-S1 through 9.18.39-S1, and 9.20.9-S1 through 9.20.13-S1. (CVE-2025-40778)
- The Spring Framework annotation detection mechanism may not correctly resolve annotations on methods within type hierarchies with a parameterized super type with unbounded generics. This can be an issue if such annotations are used for authorization decisions. Your application may be affected by this if you are using Spring Security's @EnableMethodSecurity feature. You are not affected by this if you are not using @EnableMethodSecurity or if you do not use security annotations on methods in generic superclasses or generic interfaces. This CVE is published in conjunction with CVE-2025-41248 https://spring.io/security/cve-2025-41248 . (CVE-2025-41249)
- Spring Framework MVC applications can be vulnerable to a Path Traversal Vulnerability when deployed on a non-compliant Servlet container. An application can be vulnerable when all the following are true: * the application is deployed as a WAR or with an embedded Servlet container * the Servlet container does not reject suspicious sequences https://jakarta.ee/specifications/servlet/6.1/jakarta-servlet- spec-6.1.html#uri-path-canonicalization * the application serves static resources https://docs.spring.io/spring-framework/reference/web/webmvc/mvc-config/static-resources.html#page-title with Spring resource handling We have verified that applications deployed on Apache Tomcat or Eclipse Jetty are not vulnerable, as long as default security features are not disabled in the configuration.
Because we cannot check exploits against all Servlet containers and configuration variants, we strongly recommend upgrading your application. (CVE-2025-41242)
- libexpat in Expat before 2.7.2 allows attackers to trigger large dynamic memory allocations via a small document that is submitted for parsing. (CVE-2025-59375)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
Solution
Update the Nutanix AOS software to the recommended version. Before upgrading: if this cluster is registered with Prism Central, ensure that Prism Central has been upgraded first to a compatible version. Refer to the Software Product Interoperability page on the Nutanix portal.See Also
