Tenable instructed affected customers to manually upgrade their Nessus agents to version 10.8.2 or downgrade to 10.7.3. If agent profiles were used for upgrades or downgrades, a separate plugin reset was necessary to recover offline agents. “To fix the above issue, all Tenable Vulnerability Management and Tenable Security Center customers running Tenable Nessus Agent version 10.8.0 or 10.8.1 must either upgrade to agent version 10.8.2 or downgrade to 10.7.3. If you are using agent profiles for agent upgrades or downgrades, you must perform a separate plugin reset to recover any offline agents,” Tenable advised. The company provided instructions for manually upgrading agents using the Nessus Agent 10.8.2 installation package and outlined the plugin reset process, offering a script and a “nessuscli reset” command for users’ convenience.Echoes of Past Outages
