affected by an arbitrary code execution vulnerability:

  - NI FlexRIO uses a third-party library for image processing that exposes several vulnerabilities.
    These vulnerabilities may result in arbitrary code execution. Successful exploitation requires an
    attacker to get a user to open a specially crafted file. (CVE-2024-12740)

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