high Nessus Plugin ID 124281

Synopsis

A web application running on the remote host is affected by a directory traversal vulnerability

Description

According to its self-reported version number, the Atlassian Confluence application running on the remote host is prior to 6.6.13, 6.7.x prior to 6.12.4, 6.13.x prior to 6.13.4, 6.14.x prior to 6.14.3 or 6.15.x prior to 6.15.2.
