Description
When linking a Nessus scanner or agent to Tenable.io or other manager, Nessus 6.x before 6.11 does not verify the manager's TLS certificate when making the initial outgoing connection. This could allow man-in-the-middle attacks.
Affected
Our own answer: ranges merged, affected separated from platform-only, with confidence and review flags.
6 ≤ v < 6.116.0.06.0.16.0.26.1.06.1.16.1.26.10.06.10.16.10.26.10.36.10.46.10.56.10.66.10.76.10.86.10.96.2.06.2.16.3.06.3.16.3.26.3.36.3.46.3.56.3.66.3.76.4.06.4.16.4.26.4.36.5.06.5.16.5.26.5.36.5.46.5.56.5.66.6.06.6.16.6.26.7.06.8.06.8.16.9.06.9.16.9.26.9.3
Affected range stops below 6.11, so it looks safe — our inference, not a vendor statement
