The version of Nessus Agent installed on the remote Windows host is 6.x prior to 6.11. It is, therefore, affected by a MITM vulnerability that can be exploited during the agent linking process. This is due to the fact that during an initial connection to Tenable.io or Nessus Manager when linking the agent, it does not verify the server certificate.
