Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Nessus versions prior to 10.8.4

Description The issue is related to the installation of Nessus to a non-default location on a Windows host, where secure permissions for sub-directories were not enforced in versions prior to 10.8.4. This could allow for local privilege escalation if users had not secured the directories in the non-default installation location.

Recommendations For Nessus versions prior to 10.8.4, update to version 10.8.4 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider securing the directories in the non-default installation location to prevent local privilege escalation.
