The version of AOS installed on the remote host is prior to 5.20.3.5. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the NXSA-AOS-5.20.3.5 advisory.

  - CVE-2020-9493 identified a deserialization issue that was present in Apache Chainsaw. Prior to Chainsaw     V2.0 Chainsaw was a component of Apache Log4j 1.2.x where the same issue exists. (CVE-2022-23307)

  - By design, the JDBCAppender in Log4j 1.2.x accepts an SQL statement as a configuration parameter where the     values to be inserted are converters from PatternLayout. The message converter, %m, is likely to always be     included. This allows attackers to manipulate the SQL by entering crafted strings into input fields or     headers of an application that are logged allowing unintended SQL queries to be executed. Note this issue     only affects Log4j 1.x when specifically configured to use the JDBCAppender, which is not the default.
    Beginning in version 2.0-beta8, the JDBCAppender was re-introduced with proper support for parameterized     SQL queries and further customization over the columns written to in logs. Apache Log4j 1.2 reached end of     life in August 2015. Users should upgrade to Log4j 2 as it addresses numerous other issues from the     previous versions. (CVE-2022-23305)

  - AIDE before 0.17.4 allows local users to obtain root privileges via crafted file metadata (such as XFS     extended attributes or tmpfs ACLs), because of a heap-based buffer overflow. (CVE-2021-45417)

  - Included in Log4j 1.2 is a SocketServer class that is vulnerable to deserialization of untrusted data     which can be exploited to remotely execute arbitrary code when combined with a deserialization gadget when     listening to untrusted network traffic for log data. This affects Log4j versions up to 1.2 up to 1.2.17.
    (CVE-2019-17571)

  - Improper validation of certificate with host mismatch in Apache Log4j SMTP appender. This could allow an     SMTPS connection to be intercepted by a man-in-the-middle attack which could leak any log messages sent     through that appender. Fixed in Apache Log4j 2.12.3 and 2.13.1 (CVE-2020-9488)

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