"The affected products fail to properly reject certificates signed by
an intermediate certificate authority that has been revoked via a
Certificate Revocation List (CRL). A network-based attacker who holds
such a certificate can leverage it to establish a Common Industrial
Protocol (CIP) Security session that should be untrusted, potentially
bypassing CIP Security protections. This issue only affects users who
have the CRL feature enabled and are using intermediate certificates.

This plugin only works with Tenable.ot.
