  - When using IPAuthenticationProvider in ZooKeeper Admin Server there is a possibility of Authentication
    Bypass by Spoofing -- this only impacts IP based authentication implemented in ZooKeeper Admin Server.
    Default configuration of client's IP address detection in IPAuthenticationProvider, which uses HTTP
    request headers, is weak and allows an attacker to bypass authentication via spoofing client's IP address
    in request headers. Default configuration honors X-Forwarded-For HTTP header to read client's IP address.
    X-Forwarded-For request header is mainly used by proxy servers to identify the client and can be easily
    spoofed by an attacker pretending that the request comes from a different IP address. Admin Server
    commands, such as snapshot and restore arbitrarily can be executed on successful exploitation which could
    potentially lead to information leakage or service availability issues. Users are recommended to upgrade
    to version 3.9.3, which fixes this issue. (CVE-2024-51504)

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