Nessus leverages third-party software to help provide underlying functionality. Several of the third-party components (zlib, expat, jQuery UI) were found to contain vulnerabilities, and updated versions have been made available by the providers.

Out of caution and in line with good practice, Tenable has opted to upgrade these components to address the potential impact of the issues. Nessus 10.2.0 updates zlib to version 1.2.12, expat to version 2.4.8 and jQuery UI to version 1.13.0 to address the identified vulnerabilities.
