patch available.

  - In Hibernate Validator 5.2.x before 5.2.5 final, 5.3.x, and 5.4.x, it was found that when the security
    manager's reflective permissions, which allows it to access the private members of the class, are granted
    to Hibernate Validator, a potential privilege escalation can occur. By allowing the calling code to access
    those private members without the permission an attacker may be able to validate an invalid instance and
    access the private member value via ConstraintViolation#getInvalidValue(). (CVE-2017-7536)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
