A remote code execution vulnerability exists in ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus prior to 14.0 Build 14004 due to use of Apache xmlsec (aka XML Security for Java) 1.4.1, because the xmlsec XSLT features, by design in that version, make the application responsible for certain security protections, and the ManageEngine applications did not provide those protections.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the applicationβs self-reported version number.
