"The version of Atlassian Confluence Server running on the remote host is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in
the CONFSERVER-98484 advisory.
- Applications serving static resources through the functional web frameworks WebMvc.fn or WebFlux.fn are
vulnerable to path traversal attacks. An attacker can craft malicious HTTP requests and obtain any file on
the file system that is also accessible to the process in which the Spring application is running.
Specifically, an application is vulnerable when both of the following are true: * the web application uses
RouterFunctions to serve static resources * resource handling is explicitly configured with a
FileSystemResource location However, malicious requests are blocked and rejected when any of the following
is true: * the Spring Security HTTP Firewall https://docs.spring.io/spring-
security/reference/servlet/exploits/firewall.html is in use * the application runs on Tomcat or Jetty
(CVE-2024-38816)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
