[R1] Nessus Network Monitor 6.1.0 Fixes Multiple Third-party Vulnerabilities
Critical
Synopsis
Nessus Network Monitor leverages third-party software to help provide
underlying functionality. Several third-party components (OpenSSL and
moment.js) 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 opted to upgrade the
bundled components to address the potential impact of these issues. Nessus
Network Monitor 6.1.0 updates OpenSSL to version 3.0.5 and moment.js to 2.29.4
to address the identified vulnerabilities.
Solution
Tenable has released Nessus Network Monitor 6.1.0 to address these issues. The
installation files can be obtained from the Tenable Downloads Portal (https://
www.tenable.com/downloads/nessus-network-monitor).
