"There exists some vulnerabilities in NASL scripting engine. |
21 |
To exploit these flaws, an attacker would need to have a valid Nessus |
22 |
account as well as the ability to upload arbitrary Nessus plugins in the |
23 |
Nessus server (this option is disabled by default) or he/she would need to |
24 |
trick a user somehow into running a specially crafted nasl script." |
