The version of F5 Networks BIG-IP installed on the remote host is prior to 14.1.5.4 / 15.1.8.2 / 16.1.3.4 / 17.1.0.1. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the K000132972 advisory.

  • When DNS is provisioned, an authenticated remote command execution vulnerability exists in DNS iQuery mesh. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
    (CVE-2023-28742)

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