"The version of Plone installed on the remote host is 5.2.x prior to 5.2.14 or 6.0.x prior to 6.0.7. It is, therefore,
affected by the following vulnerabilities:
- plone.namedfile has a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability for SVG images. (CVE-2023-41048)
- When the ++api++ traverser in plone.rest is accidentally used multiple times in a url, handling it takes
increasingly longer, making the server less responsive (denial of service). (CVE-2023-42457)
- Zope has a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability for SVG images; an attacker must first upload a
malicious SVG image and then trick a user into following a specially crafted link. (CVE-2023-42458)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number. Since a vendor hotfix (PloneHotfix20230921) may remediate this without a version upgrade, this plugin only
reports when running in Paranoid mode.");
