"The version of emacs installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected
by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2022-45939 advisory.
- GNU Emacs through 28.2 allows attackers to execute commands via shell metacharacters in the name of a
source-code file, because lib-src/etags.c uses the system C library function in its implementation of the
ctags program. For example, a victim May use the ctags * command (suggested in the ctags documentation)
in a situation where the current working directory has contents that depend on untrusted input.
(CVE-2022-45939)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
