"Unsafe" Functions
NB: Under Nessus, these functions were considered "unsafe" since they access
the file system and were only available to a special selection of "trusted"
plugins. Since OpenVAS takes a different approach and will not permit untrusted
plugins to run alongside trusted plugins, these functions are available to all
plugins. Classifying these functions as "unsafe" is done purely for legacy
reasons. Nevertheless, developers should be aware that these functions could
potentially harm the system which is running OpenVAS and are expected to take
extra care when using these functions.
