nessusd_www_server.nbin in the Nessus Web Server plugin 1.2.4 for Nessus allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via a request to the /feed method, which reveals the version in a response.
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in nessusd_www_server.nbin in the Nessus Web Server plugin 1.2.4 for Nessus allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unspecified vectors.
NessusWX 1.4.4 stores account passwords in plaintext in .session files, which allows local users to obtain passwords.
The SCANCTRL.ScanCtrlCtrl.1 ActiveX control in scan.dll in Nessus Vulnerability Scanner 3.0.6 allows remote attackers to delete arbitrary files via unspecified vectors involving the deleteNessusRC method, probably a directory traversal vulnerability.
Directory traversal vulnerability in a certain ActiveX control in Nessus Vulnerability Scanner 3.0.6 allows remote attackers to create or overwrite arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) in the argument to the saveNessusRC method, which writes text specified by the addsetConfig metho...
Directory traversal vulnerability in a certain ActiveX control in Nessus Vulnerability Scanner 3.0.6 allows remote attackers to delete arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) in the argument to the deleteReport method, probably related to the SCANCTRL.ScanCtrlCtrl.1 ActiveX control in...
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Windows GUI in Nessus Vulnerability Scanner before 3.0.6 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unspecified vectors.
Nessus before 2.2.8, and 3.x before 3.0.3, allows user-assisted attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a NASL script that calls split with an invalid sep parameter. NOTE: a design goal of the NASL language is to facilitate sharing of security tests by gua...
A race condition in nessus-adduser in Nessus 2.0.11 and possibly earlier versions, if the TMPDIR environment variable is not set, allows local users to gain privileges.
Multiple unknown vulnerabilities in Nessus before 2.0.6, in libnessus and possibly libnasl, a different set of vulnerabilities than those identified by CVE-2003-0372 and CVE-2003-0373, aka "similar issues in other nasl functions as well as in libnessus."
Multiple buffer overflows in libnasl in Nessus before 2.0.6 allow local users with plugin upload privileges to cause a denial of service (core dump) and possibly execute arbitrary code via (1) a long proto argument to the scanner_add_port function, (2) a long user argument to the...
Signed integer vulnerability in libnasl in Nessus before 2.0.6 allows local users with plugin upload privileges to cause a denial of service (core dump) and possibly execute arbitrary code by causing a negative argument to be provided to the insstr function as used in a NASL scri...
