The version of VMware vCenter Update Manager running on the remote host has a cross-site scripting vulnerability. This is due to a bug in Jetty, the underlying web server. When Jetty displays a directory listing, arbitrary text can be inserted into the page.
A remote attacker could exploit this by tricking a user into making a maliciously crafted request, resulting in the execution of arbitrary script code.
It is likely this version of Update Manager also has a directory traversal vulnerability, though Nessus did not check for that issue.
