Description

According to its banner, the version of GeoServer running on the remote host is prior to 2.23.5 or 2.24.0 prior to 2.24.2. It is, therefore, affected by Multiples Vulnerabilities :

- An Arbitrary file upload vulnerability in REST Coverage Store API - A Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in GWC Seed Form - A Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in GWC Demos Page - A Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in MapML HTML Page - A Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in WMS OpenLayers Format - A Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Simple SVG Renderer
