Julia Packages Installed (Windows)

info Nessus Plugin ID 376658

Synopsis

One or more Julia packages are installed on the remote Windows host.

Description

This plugin enumerates Julia packages installed on the remote Windows host by reading and parsing Julia Pkg Manifest.toml files, including:

- Every environment directory under each user's default depot (~\.julia\environments\), not just the default v<major.minor> environment;
- Depots listed in the JULIA_DEPOT_PATH environment variable (machine and user scope);
- Project-local manifests under user profiles;
- When thorough tests are enabled, manifests discovered by the Unmanaged Software scan.

Both the current manifest format (2.x, [[deps.Name]] headers) and the legacy format 1.0 ([[Name]] headers, Julia 1.6 and earlier) are parsed.
Each package name and version is registered for use by vulnerability advisory plugins.
