"A researcher in the AXIS OS Bug Bounty Program has found that the
VAPIX API ftptest.cgi did not have a sufficient input validation
allowing for a possible command injection to transfer files to/from
the Axis device. This flaw can only be exploited after authenticating
with an administrator-privileged service account. Axis has released
patched AXIS OS versions for this flaw.

This plugin only works with Tenable.ot.
