Mailing List Archive: Nessus IDs and CVEs

Greetings all,

I'm working on a vulnerability assessment project and am using Nessus
(surprise!). I've checked the list archives and don't really see what I'm
looking for, so I thought I would ask here. Is anyone aware of a current
list of Nessus IDs to CVE identifiers, or a relatively easy way to get that
information directly from my Nessus install?

Thanks in advance,
Brennan

Hi Brennan,

We don't really publish a list like that, although we do provide many other
ways to search and subscribe to new Nessus plugin information.

Many Nessus checks audit for multiple CVE vulnerabilities.

There are many checks that don't have CVE entries in them though.

Why would this list be useful for you?
