"The version of NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit installed on the remote host is prior to 13.1. It is, therefore, affected by
multiple vulnerabilities, including the following:

  - NVIDIA Nsight Systems contains a vulnerability in the gfx_hotspot recipe, where an attacker could cause
    an OS command injection by supplying a malicious string to the process_nsys_rep_cli.py script if the 
    script is invoked manually. A successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to code execution, 
    escalation of privileges, data tampering, denial of service, and information disclosure. (CVE-2025-33228)

  - NVIDIA Nsight Visual Studio for Windows contains a vulnerability in Nsight Monitor where an attacker can 
    execute arbitrary code with the same privileges as the NVIDIA Nsight Visual Studio Edition Monitor 
    application. A successful exploit of this vulnerability may lead to escalation of privileges, code 
    execution, data tampering, denial of service, and information disclosure. (CVE-2025-33229)

  - NVIDIA Nsight Systems for Linux contains a vulnerability in the .run installer, where an attacker could 
    cause an OS command injection by supplying a malicious string to the installation path. A successful 
    exploit of this vulnerability might lead to escalation of privileges, code execution, data tampering, 
    denial of service, and information disclosure. (CVE-2025-33230)

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