"According to its version, the Tenable Nessus application running on
the remote host is prior to 6.5.5. It is, therefore, affected by a
cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Host Details section
due to improper sanitization of user-supplied input. An
unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via importing a
malicious file or by scanning a malicious host that returns JavaScript
instead of a hostname, to introduce and store JavaScript in the scan
results, which can be later executed in the context of the user
viewing the results.");
