Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Cleartext Storage of Sensitive Information due to the nsclient.ini configuration file storing administrative credentials in plaintext, which are accessible to local users. An attacker can gain administrative access to the web interface by extracting these credentials and then execute arbitrary commands as SYSTEM by abusing the ExternalScripts plugin to register and trigger custom scripts through the API. This is only exploitable if both the web interface and ExternalScripts features are enabled.
