A Chief Information Security Officer has asked for a list of hosts that have critical and high- seventy findings as referenced in the CVE database. Which of the following tools would produce the…

Nessus is a comprehensive vulnerability scanner that can scan network devices, operating systems, and applications to identify security vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and weaknesses, often correlating findings with CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) IDs and assigning severity levels. This directly fulfills the CISO's request for a list of hosts with critical/high severity CVE findings.

Nikto is a web server scanner focused on identifying known web server vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and outdated software, but it's not a general-purpose host vulnerability scanner for the entire infrastructure.

A Fuzzer is a tool used for software testing to discover bugs and vulnerabilities by inputting large amounts of random data; it's not designed to scan for known CVEs on hosts across a network.

Wireshark is a network protocol analyzer used for capturing and inspecting network traffic, not for vulnerability scanning of hosts.

Prowler is a tool specifically for AWS security best practices assessments, not a general-purpose vulnerability scanner for on-premises or other cloud hosts referencing CVEs.
