  script_set_attribute(attribute:"description", value:
"According to its self-reported version number, the Spreadsheet::ParseExcel perl module is vulnerable to a remote code 
execution vulnerability due to passing unvalidated input from a file into a string-type “eval”. Specifically, the issue 
stems from the evaluation of Number format strings (not to be confused with printf-style format strings) within the 
Excel parsing logic. 

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