The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-6913-1 advisory.

Filip Hejsek discovered that phpCAS was using HTTP headers to determine the service URL used to validate     tickets. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to gain access to a victim's account on a     vulnerable CASified service.

This security update introduces an incompatible API change. After applying this update, third party     applications need to be modified to pass in an additional service base URL argument when constructing the     client class.

For more information please refer to the section Upgrading 1.5.0 -> 1.6.0 of the phpCAS upgrading     document:

https://github.com/apereo/phpCAS/blob/master/docs/Upgrading

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

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