Tenable has disabled Nessus scanner agent versions 10.8.0 and 10.8.1 after a faulty differential plugin update caused agents to go offline. The issue, discovered on December 31st, impacted Nessus agents’ ability to scan for vulnerabilities and collect security data. The affected agents, used to gather information on assets by scanning for vulnerabilities and compliance issues, were rendered inoperable. The company paused updates upon discovery of the problem and identified the cause as being linked to those specific agent versions.
On January 2nd, Tenable announced that the issue was affecting Nessus Agent versions 10.8.0 and 10.8.1 for TVM, TSC and Nessus and the plugin feed updates were disabled, except for TVM Nessus Agent and TVM linked Nessus Scanner. To resolve the problem, Tenable released version 10.8.2 which addresses the problem. Users have been instructed to either upgrade to agent version 10.8.2 or downgrade to version 10.7.3 and reset the plugins to restore functionality. Tenable has not yet provided details on the root cause of the faulty update.
