"The version of Atlassian Confluence Server running on the remote host is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in
the CONFSERVER-104406 advisory.

  - node-tar is a tar archive manipulation library for Node.js. Prior to 7.5.21, node-tar's filesFilter in
    src/list.ts uses the recursive mapHas helper to walk an archive entry path upward with path.dirname() and
    no segment cap when tar.t(...) or tar.x(...) receives a non-empty member-selection list. A crafted GNU L
    or PAX x long-path header with thousands of slash-separated segments reaches this.filter(entry.path,
    entry) in Parser[CONSUMEHEADER] in src/parse.ts before Unpack[CHECKPATH] applies maxDepth, causing an
    uncatchable RangeError stack overflow that terminates asynchronous and streaming Node.js consumers. This
    issue is fixed in version 7.5.21. (CVE-2026-73566)

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