"According to the versions of the pam package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the
following vulnerabilities :

    A Local Privilege Escalation (LPE) vulnerability has been discovered in pam-config within Linux Pluggable
    Authentication Modules (PAM). This flaw allows an unprivileged local attacker (for example, a user logged
    in via SSH) to obtain the elevated privileges normally reserved for a physically present, 'allow_active'
    user. The highest risk is that the attacker can then perform all allow_active yes Polkit actions, which
    are typically restricted to console users, potentially gaining unauthorized control over system
    configurations, services, or other sensitive operations.(CVE-2025-6018)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS pam security advisory.

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