Nessus 10.3.1
Security Updates:
The following are security updates included in Nessus 10.3.1:

- Updated libexpat to 2.4.9
- Updated libxml2 to 2.10.3
- Updated zlib to 1.2.13

Upgrade Notes:
- If you are upgrading to Nessus Expert from a previous version of Nessus, you must upgrade Nessus to 10.3 prior to performing the Expert upgrade
- Due to the dynamic plugin compilation update, Nessus customers who have custom plugins could experience compilation failures if their plugins do not adhere to the updated standards outlined in the NASL Library Optimization guide. We recommend that customers with custom plugins review this guide and make any necessary updates before updating to Nessus 10.0.x.
- You can upgrade to the latest version of Nessus from any previously supported version
- If your upgrade path skips versions of Nessus, Tenable recommends reviewing the release notes for all skipped versions to learn about new features and bug fixes
- If you want your scanners to automatically update to the newest version before the GA date, set your Nessus Update Plan to Opt in to Early Access releases
- If you want to manually update your scanners to the latest version before the GA date, disable automatic updates so the scanner does not automatically downgrade to the previous version

For Nessus 8.8.0 and later running on Windows, you must install Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 on the host operating system. The following Windows versions require a minimum Service Pack to be installed:

Nessus 8.14.0
New Features:
CVSSv2 and CVSSv3 Support: Configurable Severity Base:
- You can choose whether Nessus calculates the severity of vulnerabilities using CVSSv2 or CVSSv3 scores by configuring your default severity base setting. When you change the default severity base, the change applies to all existing scans that are configured with the default severity base. Future scans also use the default severity base. For more information, see Configure Your Default Severity Base in the Nessus User Guide.
- You can also configure individual scans to use a particular severity base, which overrides the default severity base for those scan results. For more information, see Configure Severity Base for an Individual Scan in the Nessus User Guide.
- By default, new installations of Nessus 8.14 or later use CVSSv3 scores (when available) to calculate severity for vulnerabilities. Preexisting upgraded installations from earlier than 8.14 retain the previous default of CVSSv2 scores.

VPR Support for Nessus:
- Vulnerability Priority Rating (VPR), the output of Tenable Predictive Prioritization, is a dynamic companion to the data provided by the vulnerability's CVSS score, since Tenable updates the VPR to reflect the current threat landscape. VPR helps organizations improve their remediation efficiency and effectiveness by rating vulnerabilities based on severity level – Critical, High, Medium and Low. For more information, see CVSS Scores vs. VPR in the Nessus User Guide.
- You can now view a new tab for scan results, Top Threats by VPR, which displays the 10 most severe vulnerabilities as determined by their VPR score. For more information, see View VPR Top Threats in the Nessus User Guide.
- VPR is a dynamic score that changes over time to reflect the current threat landscape. However, VPR Top Threats reflect the VPR score for the vulnerability at the time the scan was run. To get updated VPR scores for vulnerabilities in a scan, re-run the scan.
- To ensure VPR data is available for your scans, enable plugin updates
- Changed Functionality and Performance Enhancements

The following additional enhancements are included in Nessus 8.14.0:
