"The remote OT asset is affected by a vulnerability.");

"The PAM configuration of a LOYTEC L-IP BACnet/IP router uses the
'pam_unix.so nullok' option, which permits authentication
against any local account that has an empty password field in
'/etc/passwd'. A local attacker can leverage an account left
without a password to authenticate as uid=0 and obtain a root
shell without providing any credentials.

This plugin only works with Tenable.ot.
