The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - 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 relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

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.

    Package        : commons-vfs     Version        : 2.1-2+deb11u1     CVE ID         : CVE-2025-27553     Debian Bug     : 1101204

    Arnout Engelen discovered a Relative Path Traversal vulnerability in     Commons VFS, a Java library that provides a single API for accessing     various different file systems. A local or remote attacker may use this     flaw to access files and directories outside of a root folder.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, this problem has been fixed in version     2.1-2+deb11u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your commons-vfs packages.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2025:10548 advisory.

    Commons VFS provides a single API for accessing various different file systems. It presents a uniform view     of the files from various different sources, such as the files on local disk, on an HTTP server, or inside     a Zip archive. Some of the features of Commons VFS are:
    * A single consistent API for accessing files of different      types.
    * Support for numerous file system types.
    * Caching of file information. Caches information in-JVM,      and optionally can cache remote file information on the      local file system.
    * Event delivery.
    * Support for logical file systems made up of files from      various different file systems.
    * Utilities for integrating Commons VFS into applications,      such as a VFS-aware ClassLoader and URLStreamHandlerFactory.
    * A set of VFS-enabled Ant tasks.

    Security Fix(es):

    * apache-commons-vfs: Apache Commons VFS: Possible path traversal issue when using NameScope.DESCENDENT     (CVE-2025-27553)

The version of apache-commons-vfs installed on the remote host is prior to 2.0-11. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2025-2842 advisory.

    Relative Path Traversal vulnerability in Apache Commons VFS before 2.10.0.

    The FileObject API in Commons VFS has a 'resolveFile' method thattakes a 'scope' parameter. Specifying     'NameScope.DESCENDENT' promises that an exception is thrown if the resolved file is not a descendent     ofthe base file. However, when the path contains encoded ..characters (for example, %2E%2E/bar.txt),     it might return file objects that are nota 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)
