"The version of IBM Aspera Connect installed on the remote host is 1.6.1 through 4.2.19. It is, therefore, affected by
multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the 7295714 advisory.

  - IBM Aspera Connect 1.6.1 through 4.2.19 could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information and modify
    host trust configuration due to missing authentication and overly permissive cross-origin access controls in
    the local HTTP service. By persuading a victim to visit a malicious web page, an attacker could perform
    unauthorized cross-origin requests to read and modify configuration. (CVE-2026-120113)

  - IBM Aspera Connect 1.6.1 through 4.2.19 fails to consistently enforce origin verification across all REST API
    endpoints. An attacker who convinces a user to visit a malicious website could delete or inspect account
    configurations. (CVE-2026-120115)

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