The version of httpcomponents-client installed on the remote host is prior to 4.2.5-5. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2023-1946 advisory.

  • Apache HttpClient versions prior to version 4.5.13 and 5.0.3 can misinterpret malformed authority component in request URIs passed to the library as java.net.URI object and pick the wrong target host for request execution. (CVE-2020-13956)

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