"The version of pgAdmin installed on the remote host is prior to 9.11. It is, therefore, affected by 
remote code execution vulnerability:

  - pgAdmin versions up to 9.10 are affected by a Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability that occurs 
    when running in server mode and performing restores from PLAIN-format dump files. This issue allows 
    attackers to inject and execute arbitrary commands on the server hosting pgAdmin, posing a critical 
    risk to the integrity and security of the database management system and underlying data. 
    (CVE-2025-13780)

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