There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

  - NVIDIA Display Driver for Windows contains a vulnerability where an attacker could cause a time-of-check
    time-of-use issue. A successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to denial of service, escalation
    of privileges, information disclosure, data tampering, and code execution. (CVE-2026-24191)

A display driver installed on the remote Windows host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - A vulnerability exists in the kernel mode layer, where an attacker could leverage improper access to GPU   resources, potentially leading to code execution, denial of service, escalation of privileges, information   disclosure, or data tampering. (CVE-2026-24190)

  - A vulnerability exists where an attacker could cause a time-of-check time-of-use issue, potentially leading   to denial of service, escalation of privileges, information disclosure, data tampering, and code execution.   (CVE-2026-24191)

  - A vulnerability exists where an attacker could cause an out-of-bounds write, potentially leading to denial   of service, escalation of privileges, information disclosure, data tampering, and code execution.   (CVE-2026-24193)

Note that Nessus has not attempted to exploit these issues but has instead relied only on the driver's self-reported version number.
