Descriptions

When installing Nessus to a directory outside of the default location, Nessus versions prior to 7.0.3 did not enforce secure permissions for sub-directories. This could allow for local privilege escalation if users had not secured the directories in the installation location.

Al instalar Nessus en un directorio fuera de la localización por defecto, las versiones anteriores a la 7.0.3 de Nessus no aplicaban permisos seguros para los subdirectorios. Esto podría permitir un escalado de privilegios locales si los usuarios no aseguran los directorios en la ubicación de instalación.
