  - GLPI is a free asset and IT management software package. Starting in version 10.0.7 and prior to version
    10.0.10, an unverified object instantiation allows one to upload malicious PHP files to unwanted
    directories. Depending on web server configuration and available system libraries, malicious PHP files can
    then be executed through a web server request. Version 10.0.10 fixes this issue. As a workaround, remove
    write access on `/ajax` and `/front` files to the web server. (CVE-2023-42802)

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