Security End of Life (SEoL) Plugin Conversions 2024 Q2
Change
In accordance with the SEoL framework published in April 2023, we are updating and/or deprecating the legacy “Unsupported <x>” plugins to conform to the new plugin specification. Only the Unsupported plugins listed in the “Deprecated Plugin” table below have been 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.

I am seeing the same issue with 58134, this is causing an issue with the Unsupported Software report!
Unless anyone can tell me how to use "OR" in the contains box?
It appears this is also just breaking plugins - Silverlight plugin is no longer being detected Silverlight (58134).
Hi Ian,
Why are the deprecated plugins removed from plugins.tenable.com? We still have some that exist in VM with '(deprecated)' added to the name, yet it's as though they never existed on plugins.tenable.com. I'd have expected them to remain there with an explanation that they are deprecated, and ideally a link to the plugin that replaced them.
Thanks.
