Description

The following information is for Scan Diagnostic purposes only, and is not indicative of a detected vulnerability.

SSH Credentials were configured for privilege elevation but failed to elevate successfully.

Without credentials that can either elevate to, or have, root level access, both Vulnerability and Policy assessments of Unix targets will be unable to collect required data, which will lead to inaccurate results.
