Descriptions
When installing Nessus Agent to a directory outside of the default location on a Windows host, Nessus Agent versions prior to 10.6.4 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 Agent en un directorio fuera de la ubicación predeterminada en un host de Windows, las versiones de Nessus Agent anteriores a la 10.6.4 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.
