The version of Tomcat installed on the remote host is prior to 8.5.79. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the fixed_in_apache_tomcat_8.5.79_security-8 advisory.

  • The documentation of Apache Tomcat 10.1.0-M1 to 10.1.0-M14, 10.0.0-M1 to 10.0.20, 9.0.13 to 9.0.62 and 8.5.38 to 8.5.78 for the EncryptInterceptor incorrectly stated it enabled Tomcat clustering to run over an untrusted network. This was not correct. While the EncryptInterceptor does provide confidentiality and integrity protection, it does not protect against all risks associated with running over any untrusted network, particularly DoS risks. (CVE-2022-29885)

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