Descriptions

NNM failed to properly set ACLs on its installation directory, which could allow a low privileged user to run arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges where NNM is installed to a non-standard location

NNM no pudo configurar correctamente las ACL en su directorio de instalación, lo que podría permitir a un usuario con pocos privilegios ejecutar código arbitrario con privilegios de SYSTEM cuando NNM está instalado en una ubicación no estándar.
