Security End of Life (SEoL) Plugin Conversion - Windows, MacOS, and UNIX/Linux

Change

In accordance with the SEoL framework published in April 2023, we are updating and/or deprecating the legacy “Unsupported” plugins for Windows, MacOS, Linux and UNIX operating systems to conform to the new plugin specification. Only the Unsupported plugins listed in the “Deprecated Plugin” table below will be deprecated and replaced with SEoL plugins - all other plugins that detect Unsupported software remain in service.

Impact

Customers should anticipate the legacy “Unsupported” plugins to be deprecated and/or converted to their corresponding SEoL plugins. This may result in new findings and a more detailed picture of the exposure landscape associated with products in the SEoL state. 

Customer-created dashboards or reports that use the now-deprecated “Unsupported” plugins should be migrated to use the new SEoL plugins listed below. 

For additional details please see the SEoL FAQ knowledge base article from June 2023. This FAQ covers questions about SEoL plugin severity ratings, considerations for extended vendor support agreements, and future product coverage.
