"According to its self-reported version, the instance of Dotnetnuke running on the remote web server is prior to 10.1.0.
It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability.

  - DNN (formerly DotNetNuke) is an open-source web content management platform (CMS) in the Microsoft
    ecosystem. Prior to version 10.1.0, arbitrary themes can be loaded through query parameters. If an
    installed theme had a vulnerability, even if it was not used on any page, this could be loaded on
    unsuspecting clients without knowledge of the site owner. This issue has been patched in version 10.1.0.
    (CVE-2025-59535)

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