  - Greenshot 1.3.300 and earlier deserializes attacker-controlled data received in a WM_COPYDATA message using
    BinaryFormatter.Deserialize without prior validation or authentication, allowing a local process at the same
    integrity level to trigger arbitrary code execution inside the Greenshot process. (CVE-2025-59050) 

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