Nessus scan discovery
We ran a Nessus scan recently and it came back with a Medium security vulnerability. I was wondering if anyone knew how to fix it. Thanks!
- By the WAC are you referring to the Windows Admin Center?
No , it should be safe, I guess it could be a false-positive and I advise you to check with Nessus's support.
Updates are current. I don't have any Web Apps running on the workstation. I know WAC opens a browser window. Does it need IIS? The ticket from Nessus identifies the fault being seen at TCP port 6516, a typical WAC installation setup.
If I stop IIS will that remove the error?

- Yes, Windows Admin Center. I got lazy.
I'll stop the IIS service and see if that eliminates the message. That is a good idea to contact Nessus. It may be a false positive. I've been running WAC for quite a while and this is the first time it got flagged.
Thanks for your help.- The WAC and IIS are being tested before release and they are safe and I guess behavior monitoring engine of the Nessus incorrectly detect it as unsafe.
