CentOS does not publish CVE metadata.

If you are a RHEL customer, we have a suite of approved security
scanners that understand how to use the CVE metadata published as part
of RHEL.  I don't know if Tenable is in that set, but often we find
many scanners do not understand that most CVE fixes in CentOS Stream
and RHEL are managed via backports instead of version bumps or they
don't know how to handle the metadata we publish.
