It is recommended that administrators running Nessus Network Monitor check for an updated version of the software for their operating system. - --------------------------BEGIN INCLUDED TEXT-------------------- [R1] Nessus Network Monitor 5.13.0 Fixes One Third-party Vulnerability Medium Synopsis Nessus Network Monitor leverages third-party software to help provide underlying functionality. One of the third-party components (jQuery) was found to contain vulnerabilities, and updated versions have been made available by the providers. Out of caution and in line with good practice, Tenable opted to upgrade the bundled jQuery components to address the potential impact of these issues. Nessus Network Monitor 5.13.0 updates jQuery to version 3.5.1 to address the identified vulnerabilities. Solution Tenable has included a fix in Nessus Network Monitor 5.13.0 to address this issue.
