"The CrushFTP application installed on the remote host is missing a vendor-supplied patch. It is, therefore, affected
by a vulnerability. CrushFTP 10 before 10.8.5 and 11 before 11.3.4_23, when the DMZ proxy feature is not used,
mishandles AS2 validation and consequently allows remote attackers to obtain admin access via HTTPS, as exploited in the
wild in July 2025.

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