Summary
CVE-2025-24915 is a vulnerability affecting Nessus Agent on Windows hosts. When installed in a non-default location, older versions of Nessus Agent, specifically those below 10.8.3, fail to enforce secure permissions for sub-directories. An attacker who gains access to the system could potentially escalate local privileges if the non-default installation directories have not been adequately secured. This issue could lead to significant security risks if exploited.
