CVE-2007-4062
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.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.11%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
