"According to its self-reported version, the Tenable Nessus application running on the remote host is prior to 10.12.1.
It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TNS-2026-17 advisory.

  - A SQL injection vulnerability in Nessus allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker who controls reverse DNS
    records for a scanned host to inject malicious SQL into the scan results database, potentially enabling
    exfiltration of scan-result data. (CVE-2026-57587)

  - A SQL injection vulnerability in Nessus allows an attacker to craft a malicious scan result file that,
    when imported by a privileged user, injects malicious SQL into the scan results database, potentially
    enabling exfiltration of scan-result data. (CVE-2026-57588)

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