Descriptions

When installing Nessus to a directory outside of the default location on a Windows host, Nessus versions prior to 10.7.3 did not enforce secure permissions for sub-directories. This could allow for local privilege escalation if users had not secured the directories in the non-default installation location.

Al instalar Nessus en un directorio fuera de la ubicación predeterminada en un host de Windows, las versiones de Nessus anteriores a la 10.7.3 no aplicaban permisos seguros para los subdirectorios. Esto podría permitir una escalada de privilegios locales si los usuarios no hubieran protegido los directorios en la ubicación de instalación no predeterminada.
