"The version of slf4j installed on the remote Azure Linux 3.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected
by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2012-6708 advisory.

  - jQuery before 1.9.0 is vulnerable to Cross-site Scripting (XSS) attacks. The jQuery(strInput) function
    does not differentiate selectors from HTML in a reliable fashion. In vulnerable versions, jQuery
    determined whether the input was HTML by looking for the '<' character anywhere in the string, giving
    attackers more flexibility when attempting to construct a malicious payload. In fixed versions, jQuery
    only deems the input to be HTML if it explicitly starts with the '<' character, limiting exploitability
    only to attackers who can control the beginning of a string, which is far less common. (CVE-2012-6708)

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