The version of mod24_security installed on the remote host is prior to 2.8.0-5.28. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS-2023-1772 advisory.

  • In ModSecurity before 2.9.6 and 3.x before 3.0.8, HTTP multipart requests were incorrectly parsed and could bypass the Web Application Firewall. NOTE: this is related to CVE-2022-39956 but can be considered independent changes to the ModSecurity (C language) codebase. (CVE-2022-48279)

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