"The version of F5 Networks BIG-IP installed on the remote host is prior to 17.1.3.1 / 17.5.1.4. It is, therefore,
affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the K000162417 advisory.

    The BIG-IP Edge Client Dialup Entry/Windows Logon Integration may expose native Windows operating system
    functionality through the rendered web interface prior to Windows user logon. This action opens the
    Windows print dialog in the security context of the BIG-IP Edge Client pre-logon account (F5 Pre-Logon
    User). F5 Pre-Logon User is a standard Windows user account.This issue occurs when all of the following
    conditions are met:BIG-IP APM is configured with Dialup Entry/Windows Logon Integration.User has access to
    Windows system Logon Screen where BIG-IP Edge Client is installed.

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
number.");
