  - DNN (formerly DotNetNuke) is an open-source web content management platform (CMS) in the Microsoft
    ecosystem. Starting in version 9.0.0 and prior to versions 9.13.10 and 10.2.0, a content editor could
    inject scripts in module headers/footers that would run for other users. Versions 9.13.10 and 10.2.0
    contain a fix for the issue. (CVE-2026-24784)

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