The version of log4j installed on the remote host is prior to 1.2.17-16.14. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS-2023-1718 advisory.

    A flaw was found in the Java logging library Apache Log4j in version 1.x. JMSSink in Log4j 1.x is     vulnerable to deserialization of untrusted data. This allows a remote attacker to execute code on the     server if JMSSink is deployed and has been configured to perform JNDI requests. (CVE-2022-23302)

    A flaw was found in the Java logging library Apache Log4j in version 1.x. JDBCAppender in Log4j 1.x is     vulnerable to SQL injection in untrusted data. This allows a remote attacker to run SQL statements in the     database if the deployed application is configured to use JDBCAppender with certain interpolation tokens.
    (CVE-2022-23305)

    A flaw was found in the log4j 1.x chainsaw component, where the contents of certain log entries are     deserialized and possibly permit code execution. This flaw allows an attacker to send a malicious request     with serialized data to the server to be deserialized when the chainsaw component is run. (CVE-2022-23307)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
