"Hibernate Validator before 6.2.0 and 7.0.0, by default and depending how it is used, may interpolate user-supplied 
input in a constraint violation message with Expression Language. This could allow an attacker to access sensitive 
information or execute arbitrary Java code. Hibernate Validator as of 6.2.0 and 7.0.0 no longer interpolates custom 
constraint violation messages with Expression Language and strongly recommends not allowing user-supplied input in 
constraint violation messages.

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