  - A Spring MVC or Spring WebFlux application running on JDK 9+ may be vulnerable to remote code execution
    (RCE) via data binding. The specific exploit requires the application to run on Tomcat as a WAR
    deployment. If the application is deployed as a Spring Boot executable jar, i.e. the default, it is not
    vulnerable to the exploit. However, the nature of the vulnerability is more general, and there may be
    other ways to exploit it. (CVE-2022-22965)

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