Would need to understand where the content is coming from. Perhaps scap-security-guide in
RHEL, and if so, what RHEL and SSG version?
Note red hat doesn’t publish rhel6 content in the National Checklist Program since rhel6
is out of active maintenance:
Once the content source/version version is identified , the content can be ran through the
NIST content validator tooling to see if there are problems with the content itself.

Hi,
I have no idea. Does Nessus have any "verbose" mode to get more
helpful error message?
Including scap-security-guide list in this conversation because there
might be people familiar with using SSG with Nessus.

understood that Nessus supports SCAP Content (1.0 or 1.1 or 1.2) which can be downloaded
from NIST repository (
https://nvd.nist.gov/ncp/repository) based on the target host
version. This works great, However when i use SCAP from OpenSCAP SSG (example
"ssg-rhel6-ds.xml”), i am getting error as “sg-rhel6-ds. .zip : sg-rhel6-ds.xml
failed XML Schema validation” .
