affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-7063-1 advisory.
Marco Trevisan discovered that the Ubuntu Advantage Desktop Daemon leaked the Pro token to unprivileged
users by passing the token as an argument in plaintext. An attacker could use this issue to gain
unauthorized access to an Ubuntu Pro subscription. (CVE-2024-6388)
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
