DescriptionCVE.org

An input validation vulnerability exists in Security Center's file upload handling, where insufficient sanitization of uploaded filenames could contribute to a downstream command injection issue.

AnalysisAI

Command injection in Tenable Security Center's file upload handler allows an authenticated low-privilege network attacker to execute arbitrary OS commands on the underlying server. The root cause is insufficient sanitization of user-supplied filenames before they are passed to a downstream shell-invocable operation, classified under CWE-78. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires a valid, authenticated account within Tenable Security Center with sufficient permissions to use the file upload functionality - the CVSS PR:L metric confirms low-privilege (non-administrator) authentication is sufficient. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H places this at 8.8 High, reflecting network reachability, low complexity, and full triad impact - but critically requiring low-privilege authentication (PR:L). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker who holds a low-privilege Security Center account - such as a junior analyst or a compromised credential - uploads a file whose name contains shell metacharacters (e.g., a semicolon or backtick followed by a reverse shell command). The server's file upload handler passes the unsanitized filename to a downstream OS-level operation, triggering execution of the injected command in the context of the Security Center process. …
Remediation Consult the Tenable advisory TNS-2026-22 at https://www.tenable.com/security/tns-2026-22 for the specific patched version and upgrade instructions, as the exact fixed release is not independently confirmed from available input data - apply the vendor-recommended update immediately. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, immediately restrict file upload functionality in Tenable Security Center to administrative users only and implement network access controls limiting access to authorized personnel. …
