CVE-2024-3291 (GCVE-0-2024-3291)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2024-05-17 16:59 – Updated: 2024-08-01 20:05

Title

Privilege Escalation

Summary

When installing Nessus Agent to a directory outside of the default location on a Windows host, Nessus Agent versions prior to 10.6.4 did not enforce secure permissions for sub-directories. This could allow for local privilege escalation if users had not secured the directories in the non-default installation location.

Severity

7.8 (High)
