Tenable reported that faulty differential plugin updates caused Nessus Agents v10.8.0 and v10.8.1 to go offline across multiple regions; the company disabled plugin feeds for those versions, pulled the affected releases, and issued v10.8.2. Impacted customers must manually upgrade to 10.8.2 (or downgrade to 10.7.3) and, if using agent profiles, perform a plugin reset to restore agents, with plugin downloads expected to resume after mitigation.
