The version of lighttpd installed on the remote host is prior to 1.4.53-1.37. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS-2023-1705 advisory.

  • In lighttpd 1.4.65, mod_wstunnel does not initialize a handler function pointer if an invalid HTTP request (websocket handshake) is received. It leads to null pointer dereference which crashes the server. It could be used by an external attacker to cause denial of service condition. (CVE-2022-37797)

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