The version of Docker Desktop for Windows is prior to 4.6.0. It is therefore affected by a vulnerability that allows an attacker to overwrite any administrator writable files by creating a symlink in place of where the installer writes its log file.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
