patch available.

  - Dolibarr before 11.0.5 allows low-privilege users to upload files of dangerous types, leading to arbitrary
    code execution. This occurs because .pht and .phar files can be uploaded. Also, a .htaccess file can be
    uploaded to reconfigure access control (e.g., to let .noexe files be executed as PHP code to defeat the
    .noexe protection mechanism). (CVE-2020-14209)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
