CVE-2018-1147
Estado: ModificadaMedia (5.4)—
In Nessus before 7.1.0, a XSS vulnerability exists due to improper input validation. A remote authenticated attacker could create and upload a .nessus file, which may be viewed by an administrator allowing for the execution of arbitrary script code in a user's browser session. In other scenarios, XSS could also occur by altering variables from the Advanced Settings.

Un atacante remoto autenticado podría crear y subir un archivo .nessus, que podría ser visualizado por un administrador; esto permitiría la ejecución de código script arbitrario en la sesión de navegación de un usuario. En otros escenarios, también podría ocurrir XSS alterando las variables de las opciones avanzadas."
