"The version of apache-ivy installed on the remote host is prior to 2.3.0-4. It is, therefore, affected by a
vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2026-3993 advisory.
The PackagerResolver of Apache Ivy is able to download onlineartifacts and to (re)package them in a format
defined by apackager.xml file. This repackaging is done by an Ant script, which isstored in a subdirectory
of the configured buildRoot directory. Thissubdirectory is calculated based on modules coordinates, like
theorganisation, name or version.
If one of the coordinates contains ../ sequences - which are validcharacters for Ivy coordinates in
general- it is possible to break outof the configured buildRoot directory where other files can
beoverwritten.
In order to exploit this vulnerability an attacker needs to haveaccess to a packager repository and add or
modify the coordinates inivy.xml files to have such ../ sequences.
Users of Apache Ivy 2.0.0 to 2.5.3 (inclusive) should upgrade to Ivy 2.6.0. (CVE-2026-26032)
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
