According to its self-reported version, the Tenable Nessus agent running on the remote host is prior to 8.3.3 or 10.x prior to 10.1.3. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability in a third-party library.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
