The version of IBM WebSphere Application Server running on the remote host is affected by a DoS vulnerability as referenced in the 7145942 advisory.

  • The jose4j component before 0.9.4 for Java allows attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a large p2c (aka PBES2 Count) value. (CVE-2023-51775)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the applicationโ€™s self-reported version number.
