CVE-2019-3962
Content Injection vulnerability in Tenable Nessus prior to 8.5.0 may allow an authenticated, local attacker to exploit this vulnerability by convincing another targeted Nessus user to view a malicious URL and use Nessus to send fraudulent messages.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.95%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
