+description: Tenable Hash Code Change
+---
+## Change: Tenable Hash Code Calculation
+The `description` field has been removed from the Tenable scan parser hash code configuration. The deduplication hash is now calculated using only: `title`, `severity`, `vulnerability_ids`, and `cwe`.
+
+The `description` field contained dynamic plugin output data (scan results, timestamps, affected hosts) that changed between scans of the same vulnerability, causing deduplication to fail and creating duplicate findings on reimport.
+
+### Impact
+Existing Tenable findings may be marked as closed and recreated as new findings due to the change in hash values.
+
+### Required Actions
+After upgrading, run the following command to recalculate hash codes for existing Tenable findings:
+
+    python manage.py dedupe --hash_code_only
