During an internal audit, you examine a raw vulnerability scan output that lists Plugin ID 19506, provides a CVSS v3 base score, and recommends applying MS17-010 patches. The scan was completed without credentials. Which vulnerability assessment tool most likely generated this output?
Plugin IDs that follow the numeric format shown (for example, 19506) are specific to Tenable's Nessus plugins; 19506 is the built-in "Nessus Scan Information" plugin. Nessus reports also embed CVSS scores by default and reference Microsoft bulletins like MS17-010. OpenVAS relies on NVT OIDs, Qualys uses QIDs, and Nmap's NSE scripts do not assign numbered plugin identifiers or automatically calculate CVSS. Therefore, Nessus is the most probable source of the report.
