"The remote host is running NVIDIA App, an NVIDIA GPU companion app, whose reported version is prior to 11.0.5.245. It
is, therefore, affected by a privilege escalation vulnerability:

  - NVIDIA Installer for NvAPP for Windows contains a vulnerability in the FrameviewSDK installation process, where an
    attacker with local unprivileged access could modify files in the Frameview SDK directory. A successful exploit of
    this vulnerability might lead to escalation of privileges. (CVE-2025-23297)

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