"The version of Zscaler Client Connector installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 4.2.0.190. It is, therefore,
affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

  - An Improper Validation of signature in Zscaler Client Connector on Windows allows an authenticated user to disable
    anti-tampering. This issue affects Client Connector on Windows < 4.2.0.190. (CVE-2023-28806)

  - Anti-tampering can be disabled under certain conditions without signature validation. This affects Zscaler Client
    Connector < 4.2.0.190 with anti-tampering enabled. (CVE-2024-23456)

  - While copying individual autoupdater log files, reparse point check was missing which could result into crafted
    attacks, potentially leading to a local privilege escalation. This issue affects Zscaler Client Connector on Windows
    < 4.2.0.190. (CVE-2024-23458)

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