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.

Does this affect you?

Add your gear to cvedb and we'll alert you only when a vendor you run ships something exploited.
