CVE-2019-3961
Nessus versions 8.4.0 and earlier were found to contain a reflected XSS vulnerability due to improper validation of user-supplied input.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.48%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
Nessus versions 8.4.0 and earlier were found to contain a reflected XSS vulnerability due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker could potentially exploit this vulnerability via a specially crafted request to execute arbitrary script code in a users browser session.
