[R1] Nessus Version 10.7.6 Fixes Multiple Vulnerabilities

Critical

Synopsis

Nessus leverages third-party software to help provide underlying functionality. Several of the third-party components (OpenSSL, expat) were found to contain vulnerabilities, and updated versions have been made available by the providers.

Out of caution and in line with best practice, Tenable has opted to upgrade these components to address the potential impact of the issues. Nessus Version 10.7.6 updates OpenSSL to version 3.0.15 and expat to version 2.6.3 to address the identified vulnerabilities.

Solution

Tenable has released Nessus 10.7.6 to address these issues. The installation files can be obtained via the Tenable Feed.
