  - The FormatArguments method in ExternalCommandDestination.cs uses string.Format() to insert user-controlled
    filenames directly into shell commands without sanitization, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary commands
    by crafting malicious filenames containing shell metacharacters. (CVE-2026-22035)

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