"The version of Atlassian Confluence Server running on the remote host is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in
the CONFSERVER-101477 advisory.
- ws is an open source WebSocket client and server for Node.js. A request with a number of headers exceeding
theserver.maxHeadersCount threshold could be used to crash a ws server. The vulnerability was fixed in
[email protected] (e55e510) and backported to [email protected] (22c2876), [email protected] (eeb76d3), and [email protected] (4abd8f6). In
vulnerable versions of ws, the issue can be mitigated in the following ways: 1. Reduce the maximum allowed
length of the request headers using the --max-http-header-size=size and/or the maxHeaderSize options so
that no more headers than the server.maxHeadersCount limit can be sent. 2. Set server.maxHeadersCount to 0
so that no limit is applied. (CVE-2024-37890)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
