The version of Tomcat installed on the remote host is prior to 8.0.27. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the fixed_in_apache_tomcat_8.0.27_security-8 advisory.

  • Directory traversal vulnerability in RequestUtil.java in Apache Tomcat 6.x before 6.0.45, 7.x before 7.0.65, and 8.x before 8.0.27 allows remote authenticated users to bypass intended SecurityManager restrictions and list a parent directory via a /… (slash dot dot) in a pathname used by a web application in a getResource, getResourceAsStream, or getResourcePaths call, as demonstrated by the $CATALINA_BASE/webapps directory. (CVE-2015-5174)

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