Nessus before 2.2.8, and 3.x before 3.0.3, allows user-assisted attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a NASL script that calls split with an invalid sep parameter. NOTE: a design goal of the NASL language is to facilitate sharing of security tests by guaranteeing that a script "can not do anything nasty." This issue is appropriate for CVE only if Nessus users have an expectation that a split statement will not use excessive memory.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This issue affects old Nessus scanner versions. A malicious or malformed NASL security-test script could make Nessus consume excessive memory and stop working. The scenario is user-assisted: the attacker needs someone to run or import the script. It is mainly a scanner availability risk, not evidence of data theft or system compromise. Exposure is most likely in environments still running the affected Nessus versions and using externally sourced NASL scripts. The bundle does not provide CPEs, platform scope, internet exposure requirements, or current product applicability. Treat this as a low-complexity hygiene item if affected legacy scanners exist. It can disrupt vulnerability management operations, but the source bundle does not support emergency prioritization absent old Nessus versions and untrusted NASL use. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Nessus to 2.2.8, 3.0.3, or a later supported release.; Do not run untrusted third-party NASL scripts on affected scanners.; Review vendor guidance before relying on compensating controls..
