"The version of OISF Suricata installed on the remote host is prior to 7.0.16. It is, therefore, affected by a
vulnerability:

  - The Lua TLS certificate information helper could dereference NULL certificate fields when a Lua script
    requested certificate information for TLS traffic where some certificate fields were absent. Crafted TLS
    traffic processed by a deployment using affected Lua TLS scripting could crash Suricata, resulting in
    denial of service. (CVE-2026-45747)

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