"The version of AOS installed on the remote host is prior to 6.10.1.8. It is, therefore, affected by multiple
vulnerabilities as referenced in the NXSA-AOS-6.10.1.8 advisory.

  - A command injection flaw was found in the text editor Emacs. It could allow a remote, unauthenticated
    attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands on a vulnerable system. Exploitation is possible by tricking
    users into visiting a specially crafted website or an HTTP URL with a redirect. (CVE-2025-1244)

  - The protojson.Unmarshal function can enter an infinite loop when unmarshaling certain forms of invalid
    JSON. This condition can occur when unmarshaling into a message which contains a google.protobuf.Any
    value, or when the UnmarshalOptions.DiscardUnknown option is set. (CVE-2024-24786)

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