7.3 highCVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:HCVE-2017-6543
High (7.3) in tenable. EPSS 0.8% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
Tenable Nessus before 6.10.2 (as used alone or in Tenable Appliance before 4.5.0) was found to contain a flaw that allowed a remote, authenticated attacker to upload a crafted file that could be written to anywhere on the system. This could be used to subsequently gain elevated privileges on the system (e.g., after a reboot). This issue only affects installations on Windows.
