7.133.21, or 7.146.x prior to 7.146.8. It is, therefore, affected by a privilege escalation vulnerability in
event-handling. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to gain privileged access to the system.

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