The version of Apache Struts running on the remote host is 2.5.x prior to 2.5.14.1. It is, therefore, affected by an unspecified flaw that is triggered when parsing JSON. This allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.

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