"According to its self-reported version, the Nessus Network Monitor running on the remote host is prior to 6.5.1. It is,
therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TNS-2025-10 advisory.

  - In libxml2 before 2.13.8 and 2.14.x before 2.14.2, xmlSchemaIDCFillNodeTables in xmlschemas.c has a 
    heap-based buffer under-read. To exploit this, a crafted XML document must be validated against an XML 
    schema with certain identity constraints, or a crafted XML schema must be used. (CVE-2025-32415)

  - When installing Tenable Network Monitor to a non-default location on a Windows host, Tenable Network 
    Monitor versions prior to 6.5.1 did not enforce secure permissions for sub-directories. This could allow 
    for local privilege escalation if users had not secured the directories in the non-default installation 
    location. (CVE-2025-24916)

  - In Tenable Network Monitor versions prior to 6.5.1 on a Windows host, it was found that a 
    non-administrative user could stage files in a local directory to run arbitrary code with SYSTEM 
    privileges, potentially leading to local privilege escalation. (CVE-2025-24917)

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