Improvement to Printer OS Fingerprinting
Updated: April 3, 2026 Summary Scanned printers will now have an OS artefact surfaced in their scan host metadata if the target has been identified as a printer when the “Scan Network Printers” policy option is disabled. This change will not cause any additional asset licenses to be consumed within Tenable VM or Tenable Security Center. Background Printers are notoriously unstable scan targets. Oftentimes, they can behave erratically when scanned, so some users prefer to avoid scanning them altogether. At present, there is a switch in the scan policies to prevent further scanning of a host when it's identified as a printer. To enable this setting, go to Settings -> Host Discovery -> Fragile devices - Scan Network Printers (Currently, this is a checkbox setting, default value “off”). With that said, how can the scanner know the target is a printer if it cannot be scanned? In reality, the scanner still performs very basic fingerprinting (usually via SNMP) in order to gather enough information to make an educated guess at the device type. When the scan target is thought to be a printer, it essentially gets marked as “Host/dead" in the scan KB. When this happens, the scanner will not perform any further active scanning. Changes With this update, the fingerprint used to identify the printer as such, will now be stored in the scan Knowledge Base (KB) so it can be processed by os_fingerprint2.nasl ("Post-scan OS Identification", plugin ID 83349) and surfaced as metadata in the scan result. The relevant policy setting located at Settings -> Host Discovery -> Fragile devices -> Scan Network Printers. With this update, the printer's OS information will now be surfaced if it is available, regardless of the selected value for this setting. Impact Users can now see the OS information for their printer devices that would have otherwise gone unreported if the scan is not configured to “Scan Network Printers”. As plugin ID 83349 generates no plugin output, only an “operating-system” tag will be added to the scan result (and stored in an exported .nessus file). This information will be visible only the in “Host/Asset Details” section of the Tenable product UI, i.e: Tenable Nessus: Scans -> [Folder] -> [Individual Scan Result] - > Host Details -> OS (sidebar) Tenable Vulnerability Management: Explore -> Assets -> [Asset] -> Details -> Operating System Scans -> Vulnerability Management Scans -> [Individual Scan Result] -> Scan Details -> Asset Details -> Operating System Tenable Security Center: Analysis -> IP Summary -> [IP address] -> System Information -> OS Scans -> Scan Results -> [Individual Scan Result] -> IP Summary -> [IP address] -> System Information -> OS Note, we expect this information to surface mainly in individual scan results. It would only be present in cumulative asset details if a licensed asset already exists for the target in question. This update will not cause additional assets to be created or consume any additional licenses. Affected Plugins 83349 - os_fingerprint2.nasl 11933 - dont_scan_printers.nasl 22481 - dont_scan_settings.nasl Targeted Release Date Wednesday, March 4, 2026

NuGet Package Enumeration Updates
Summary Tenable has updated the NuGet package enumeration plugins to improve detection of installed NuGet packages on Linux/Unix scan targets. Change Before this update, the NuGet package enumeration plugins did not attempt to associate detected packages with an RPM or DEB package managed by the Linux distribution. This could cause packages to report vulnerabilities both based on a Linux distribution vendor's advisory and a CVE advisory from the NuGet package maintainer. After this update, these issues have been addressed. NuGet packages on Linux assets will be assessed to determine if they are managed by a Linux distribution's package manager, and if so, will be marked as “Managed” and will not report a vulnerability, unless the Show potential false alarms setting is enabled for the scan. Impact Most customers will notice improved accuracy in NuGet package vulnerability reporting. Scan results may show changes in detected vulnerabilities based on how packages were previously assessed. Affected plugins 190687 - NuGet Installed Packages (Linux / Unix) Target Release Date June 1, 2026Cisco Meraki API Host Guidance
Summary Tenable is announcing changes to our documentation for the Cisco Meraki API integration. Customers using a “unique” host in the “Cisco Meraki Host” field of the credential should use “api.meraki.com”, or a region-specific instead if applicable. Please refer to the documentation for full guidance. Tenable and Cisco Meraki Integration Guide Impact Customers using the Cisco Meraki API integration are encouraged to check their configurations and update them accordingly. This change in guidance addresses cases where some customers were experiencing HTTP 308 redirects, resulting in integration failures. This is also closely related to cases where customers were experiencing HTTP 403 errors, which has been addressed by changes in the Cisco Meraki API Web Application Firewall (WAF). Release Date Dec 15th, 2025Delinea Platform Authentication Support

Read Tenable documentation.Plugin output for language library enumeration
Summary The plugins that enumerate Node.js, Python, and Ruby packages will now list the discovered packages in their output. Change Before this update, Tenable had updated some of the “language library” enumeration plugins - specifically for Node.js, Python, and Ruby - so that they would no longer list the discovered packages in the plugin output. This was a performance-related decision. When scanning assets with a substantial number of discovered packages, Tenable found that in many cases the size of the findings set would be so large that it would exhaust the memory allocated to the plugin and cause the plugin to crash without reporting. This would prevent downstream vulnerability plugins from detecting vulnerable packages and result in false negatives. Tenable found this to be a less desirable outcome, and began investigating solutions to make these findings sets available at the platform level. Customer feedback has led us to revert this change and develop an alternative solution for reporting from these plugins. After this update, the plugins below will now list the discovered packages, along with their path and version, in the plugin output, which can be used to locate specific installed packages on assets. Tenable will continue to investigate a platform-level feature to allow customers to locate specific language libraries across all managed assets in Tenable One. Impact Plugin output for updated plugins will include a list of detected packages. This may substantially increase the size of scan results in accordance with the number of detected packages.

Tenable Post-Quantum Cryptography Inventory Support
Summary The advent of quantum computing presents a significant threat to current cryptographic algorithms. Organizations worldwide are beginning the critical transition to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) resistant algorithms to ensure long-term data security. Government mandates, such as the U.S. National Security Memorandum 10 (NSM-10), outlines deadlines for PQC migration and specific actions agencies must take to migrate vulnerable systems. Our PQC support is designed to help customers inventory use of TLS and SSH quantum-resistant and vulnerable algorithms within their infrastructure using remote Nessus-based scans. Cipher Inventory and Reporting Post-Quantum Cipher Plugins Two remote-based scan informational reporting plugins for TLS and SSH protocols inform customers of their transition posture according to NIST Post-Quantum Encryption Standards. Services Using Post Quantum Cryptography: Reports on services equipped with at least one post-quantum cipher. It will specify which post-quantum ciphers were discovered, reporting by port and protocol. Services Not Using Post Quantum Cryptography: Reports on services that support no post-quantum ciphers. These plugins will be enabled by default and included in existing scans. Cryptographic Inventory Plugin Reporting To enable a JSON-based inventory of each target by service and cipher, enable through either a preference on your Advanced Network Scan or by running the Cryptographic Inventory scan template. These preferences will initially be supported in Nessus and Tenable Vulnerability Management. They are planned to be added to Tenable Security Center at a later date. Warning: Enabling this preference through the Advanced Network Scan is expected to increase the overall size of the plugin output per target and resulting Nessus database size. If you do not need to produce this inventory at all or on your regular scan cadence, it’s recommended to instead run the Cryptographic Inventory scan template to decrease the potential impact to your normal scan results. Options to Enable Inventory Reporting Advanced Scan Preference Post Quantum Cryptography Scan Template Cryptographic Inventory Plugin Details The plugin enabled with the preference or scan template is an information plugin called Target Cipher Inventory. Within the output of this plugin, you will find a JSON structure containing the TLS and SSH inventories for the scanned target. You can export this inventory based on plugin output using the Tenable API if needed. For TLS, the structure contains: Attribute Definition Encaps Protocol encapsulation employed such as TLSv1, TLSv2, TLSv3 Port Port used for TLS communication Curve Group Encryption method Ciphersuite Algorithm used to secure the TLS connection For SSH, the structure contains: Attribute Definition Proto Protocol of SSH Port Port used for SSH communication Name Algorithm used to secure the protocol Type Use of the named algorithm such as “message auth” Release Date Tenable Vulnerability Management and Tenable Nessus: December 8, 2025 Tenable Security Center: - December 8, 2025 for the informational plugins - Cryptographic Inventory scan template release to be determinedCyberArk PVWA Credentials from CCP
Summary Tenable is proud to announce an enhancement to credentialed scanning using CyberArk Auto-Discovery. Specifically, as it relates to how customers can manage Password Vault Web Access (PVWA) credentials in the CyberArk Vault, and fetch them from the Central Credential Provider (CCP). When using CyberArk Auto-Discovery, the scanner accesses the Password Vault Web Access (PVWA) API to enumerate accounts to be dynamically added as targets to the scan, and the scanner uses a username and password to authenticate to this API. This new feature offers the ability to store the username and password combination in CyberArk itself, eliminating the need to manually manage these credentials. New Feature The feature adds a new drop-down menu, named “PVWA REST API Authentication Type”, which has two options, “Username and Password” and “Gather from CCP”. “Username and Password” is the default and previous behavior of manually entering the PVWA username and password. “Gather from CCP” provides the ability to gather these values from the vault, by instead providing the Account Name (unique credential identifier) of the account containing PVWA credentials. Please note that this change only affects configurations using CyberArk Auto-Discovery as a Windows, Database or SSH authentication method, because these are the only integrations that interface with the PVWA. The following other integrations are unaffected by this change: CyberArk (without auto-discovery) CyberArk Secrets Manager CyberArk (Legacy) Additionally, this change requires a minimum Nessus scanner version of 10.10. Attempting to use this feature with an older Nessus version will fail with an error in the debugging log report which reads: Please note that fetching PVWA creds from the Central Credential Provider requires Nessus scanner version 10.10 or later. For more information, please refer to the CyberArk integrations documentation: https://docs.tenable.com/Integrations.htm Impact There is no change necessary for customer configurations. Customers with existing Auto-Discovery credentials will continue to use username and password authentication, but will have the option to try the new feature by selecting “Gather from CCP”. Release Date April 1st 2026 for T.VM and Nessus, TDB for T.SC
