"The version of F5 Networks BIG-IP installed on the remote host is prior to 17.1.0.1. It is, therefore, affected by a
vulnerability as referenced in the K000132686 advisory.

    The original TLS protocol includes a weakness in master secret negotiation, potentially allowing the
    Triple Handshake Attack that is mitigated by the Extended Master Secret (EMS) extension defined in RFC
    7627.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the F5 Networks BIG-IP security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
