The version of IBM Java installed on the remote host is prior to 7.1 < 7.1.5.19 / 8.0 < 8.0.8.5. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the IBM Security Update August 2023 advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.

- IBM SDK, Java Technology Edition 7.1.5.18 and 8.0.8.0 could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary
code on the system, caused by an unsafe deserialization flaw. By sending specially-crafted data, an
attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system. IBM X-Force ID: 236069.
