According to its self-reported version, the Tenable Nessus application running on the remote host is prior to 10.7.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TNS-2024-01 advisory.
A stored XSS vulnerability exists where an authenticated, remote attacker with administrator privileges on the Nessus application could alter Nessus proxy settings, which could lead to the execution of remote arbitrary scripts. (CVE-2024-0955)
A SQL injection vulnerability exists where an authenticated, low-privileged remote attacker could potentially alter scan DB content. (CVE-2024-0971)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
