HIGH

Nessus <10.7.3 - Privilege Escalation

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

When installing Nessus to a directory outside of the default location on a Windows host, Nessus versions prior to 10.7.3 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.
