Plugin Pipeline

Background

As new vulnerabilities are discovered and released into the general public domain, Tenable Research promptly publishes plugins containing vulnerability information, recommended remediation actions, and the necessary algorithms to test for the presence of the security issue. Tenable Research has published over 175,000 plugins, covering 70,000+ CVE IDs and 30,000+ Bugtraq IDs.

Summary

At Tenable, we hold ourselves to the highest standard in delivering the best possible coverage to our customers and use a number of continuously improving processes to prioritize vulnerabilities. In an effort to increase transparency into the content development process, we are excited to announce the release of the Plugin Pipeline, found at www.tenable.com/plugins/pipeline. This new feature enables our customers to browse new plugins that the Tenable Research team prioritizes by CVE, detection status, or keyword search.  

Additionally, any new plugin coverage marked for pre-release communication will be shown under the Plugins tab for a given CVE on Tenable's CVE portal. 

Disclaimer: The Plugin Pipeline page does not represent an exhaustive list of plugins for which Tenable Research intends to provide coverage. The decision to surface pre-release information is granted on a per-instance basis by Tenable subject matter experts; in some cases, that includes vetted automation processes. Similarly, this page does not include information for all currently available plugins.  For a full list, visit the Plugin Search portal.
