Lifecycle Timeline
6DescriptionCVE.org
A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in Tenable Security Center that allows a user with "Security Manager" role and "manage user" permission on a single group to modify users belonging to other groups. This bypasses the intended access control restrictions and enables unauthorized cross-group user management.
AnalysisAI
Privilege escalation in Tenable Security Center allows an authenticated Security Manager to manage users outside their authorized group scope, bypassing the platform's intended group-based access controls. The flaw affects all Security Center versions prior to 6.9.0 and is exploitable over the network by any user holding the Security Manager role with at least one 'manage user' permission grant. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires an authenticated session with the Security Manager role AND at least one 'manage user' permission grant on any group within the Security Center instance. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 score of 8.6 reflects network accessibility (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), low privilege requirement (PR:L), no user interaction (UI:N), and high confidentiality and integrity impact on the vulnerable system. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An authenticated Security Manager who legitimately administers a low-privilege user group crafts API or UI requests targeting user accounts in a high-privilege group - such as an administrative or global group - to which they have no authorized access. By exploiting the missing group-scope enforcement, they modify those out-of-scope users' roles, credentials, or group memberships, effectively escalating their own or a colluding account's privileges within Tenable Security Center. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade Tenable Security Center to version 6.9.0 or later, which resolves the authorization scope enforcement defect as documented in vendor advisory TNS-2026-22 (https://www.tenable.com/security/tns-2026-22). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, inventory all Tenable Security Center deployments to identify instances running versions prior to 6.9.0 and conduct a targeted audit of Security Manager user management activities for unauthorized scope changes. …
