"The version of OSGeo GeoServer installed on the remote host is affected by a remote code executionvulnerability, as
follows:
- Multiple OGC request parameters allow Remote Code Execution (RCE) by unauthenticated users through specially
crafted input against a default GeoServer installation due to unsafely evaluating property names as XPath
expressions. The GeoTools library API that GeoServer calls evaluates property/attribute names for feature types
in a way that unsafely passes them to the commons-jxpath library which can execute arbitrary code when evaluating
XPath expressions.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
