According to its self-reported version number, the instance of Atlassian Confluence on the remote host is a 2.x version that is 2.7 or later, or else version 3.x prior to 3.4.9. It is, therefore, affected by multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities.Errors in the validation of input data to certain macros allow unfiltered data to be returned to a user's browser. The affected macros are: Include Page, Activity Stream, Action links of attachments lists and Table of Contents.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
