Atlassian JIRA hosted on the remote web server is 4.2.x prior to
5.1.1. It is, therefore, potentially affected by multiple cross-site
scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities that allow a remote attacker to embed
arbitrary JavaScript code in a JIRA page.

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