The version of IBM MQ Server running on the remote host is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the 7123135 advisory.

  • Versions of the package follow-redirects before 1.15.4 are vulnerable to Improper Input Validation due to the improper handling of URLs by the url.parse() function. When new URL() throws an error, it can be manipulated to misinterpret the hostname. An attacker could exploit this weakness to redirect traffic to a malicious site, potentially leading to information disclosure, phishing attacks, or other security breaches. (CVE-2023-26159)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the applicationโ€™s self-reported version number.
