"The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the TuxCare
ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2026:1789382807 advisory.
- The ftp and scp tasks of Apache Ant can download files from a remote server. A malicious server can
provide relative paths that allow it to write outside of the dedicated target directory for the download,
making it possible to overwrite files of the attacker's choice using the permissions of the user running
Ant in versions prior to Ant 1.10.18. In order to exploit this vulnerability, the server would either have
to be malicious or be subject to a machine-in-the-middle attack. Additionally in the case of scp or the
ftp task using ftps the server must pass the server identity checks performed by the tasks. For ftp tasks
not using ftps a malicious server could act as a machine-in-the-middle to provide malicious files.
Starting with Ant 1.10.18 both tasks will prevent writing outside of the destination directory by default.
An option is available to disable this behavior in the unlikely case that the old behavior is required by
existing build files. Mitigations: Users of scp and ftp (when using ftps) in any version of Ant should not
bypass server identity checks. Users of ftp not using ftps should switch to ftps where possible. All users
are recommended to upgrade to Apache Ant 1.10.18, which fixes this issue. (CVE-2026-78254)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
