Synopsis

Nessus has detected potential virtual hosts.

Description

Hostnames different from the current hostname have been collected by miscellaneous plugins. Nessus has generated a list of hostnames that point to the remote host. Note that these are only the alternate hostnames for vhosts discovered on a web server.

Different web servers may be hosted on name-based virtual hosts.

Solution

If you want to test them, re-scan using the special vhost syntax, such as :
