Nessus Network Monitor leverages third-party software to help provide underlying functionality. Several third-party components (OpenSSL and jQuery UI) 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 6.0.1 updates OpenSSL to version 1.1.1n and jQueryUI to 1.13.0 to address the identified vulnerabilities.
