Nessus Vulnerability Scanner 3.0.6 ActiveX 0day Remote Code Execution Exploit
This exploit allows remote code execution on systems running Nessus Vulnerability Scanner 3.0.6. The bug was discovered by Krystian Kloskowski (h07) and was tested on Nessus 3.0.6 with IE 6 on Windows XP SP2 (Polish). The exploit injects a command to shut down the system with a delay of 1000 milliseconds and displays the message 'hello world ;]'. It then saves a file named 'exec.bat' in a specific directory.
Mitigation:
Update to a patched version of Nessus Vulnerability Scanner.
