"The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced
in the USN-8717-1 advisory.
It was discovered that Apache Tika's ISA-Tab parser incorrectly handled file path resolution. An attacker
who could place files in a directory that Tika subsequently parses could use this issue to read arbitrary
files
accessible to the Tika process and have their contents emitted into the
extracted text output.
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
