Lifecycle Timeline
4DescriptionCVE.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. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
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. …
