According to its self-reported version, the version of Pulse Connect Secure running on the remote host is greater than 9.0R3 and prior to 9.1R11.4. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities including an authentication bypass vulnerability that can allow an unauthenticated user to perform remote arbitrary file execution on the Pulse Connect Secure gateway.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the applicationβs self-reported version number.
