therefore, affected by a code injection vulnerability as referenced in the apsb26-132 advisory.

  - Animate is affected by an Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection') vulnerability that could
    result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. A low-privileged attacker could exploit
    this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a
    victim must open a malicious file. Scope is changed. (CVE-2026-76191)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
