"The remote Windows host contains a Spring Framework library version
that is 4.3.x prior to 4.3.15 or 5.0.x prior to 5.0.5. It is,
therefore, affected by a directory traversal vulnerability. An
unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by sending a URI
that contains directory traversal characters, to disclose the
contents of files located outside of the server's restricted path.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied
only on the application's self-reported version number.");
