Description
I ran a Nessus Scan and it came up with a finding to enable StartTLS for NUT. I would please request this feature be enabled to allow for encrypted channels. This is the finding below
Description
The remote Network UPS Tools does not support exchanging credentials through an encrypted channel. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to perform a man-in-the-middle attack, intercept credentials, and alter the settings on the UPS that the server manages.
Solution
Enable StartTLS support on the server using the 'CERTFILE' directive.
NUT Version: 2.8.2_9
