According to its banner, the version of CouchDB running on the remote host is prior to 3.2.2 It is, therefore, potentially affected by a remote privilege escalation vulnerability. An attacker can access an improperly secured default installation without authenticating and gain admin privileges.
Note that Nessus did not actually test for these flaws but instead, has relied on the version in CouchDB’s banner.
