8.0.0.15, 8.5.0.x through to 8.5.5.18, or 9.0.x through to 9.0.5.5. It is, therefore, affected by a directory traversal
vulnerability. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this by sending a specially crafted URL request  
containing 'dot dot' sequences (/../) to view arbitrary files on the system.

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