The version of Apache Struts running on the remote host is 2.3.x prior to 2.3.33. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerability:

  • A flaw exists in unspecified Spring AOP functionality that is used to secure Struts actions. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2017-9787)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
