When linking a Nessus scanner or agent to Tenable.io or other manager, Nessus 6.x before 6.11 does not verify the managers TLS certificate when making the initial outgoing connection. This could allow man-in-the-middle attacks.
Weakness
The product does not validate, or incorrectly validates, a certificate.
