the following issue :

  - NGINX Plus and NGINX Open Source have a vulnerability in the ngx_stream_ssl_module module due to the
    improper handling of revoked certificates when configured with the ssl_verify_client on and ssl_ocsp on
    directives, allowing the TLS handshake to succeed even after an OCSP check identifies the certificate
    as revoked. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not
    evaluated. (CVE-2026-28755)

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