DescriptionCVE.org

An authenticated command injection vulnerability exists in Security Center related to file upload processing. An attacker could exploit this issue by uploading a specially crafted file, potentially resulting in arbitrary command execution on the underlying operating system.

AnalysisAI

Authenticated OS command injection in Tenable Security Center allows a low-privileged user to run arbitrary operating system commands by uploading a specially crafted file that is unsafely handled during upload processing. The flaw was reported by Tenable's own research team (advisory tns-2026-22) and carries a CVSS 4.0 base score of 9.4 with high impact on both the vulnerable system and subsequent systems. …

Execution
Command executed by service account on host
Impact
Gain shell and access stored scan credentials

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires an authenticated session on the Tenable Security Center console with at least low-privilege access (CVSS PR:L), plus the ability to reach the file-upload processing feature within the application. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 vector AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:H/SI:H/SA:H describes a network-reachable, low-complexity attack requiring only low privileges and no user interaction, yielding full compromise of both the vulnerable and subsequent systems - a coherent, high-severity profile consistent with the 9.4 score. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario A low-privileged analyst account - obtained via credential reuse, phishing, or an over-provisioned internal role - logs into the Security Center web console and uploads a crafted file whose contents or metadata inject shell metacharacters into a command executed server-side. The injected command runs on the underlying OS as the Security Center service account, giving the attacker a shell on the host and access to stored scan data and credentials. …
Remediation Apply the update referenced in Tenable advisory tns-2026-22 (https://www.tenable.com/security/tns-2026-22); a specific fixed version was not included in the provided data, so confirm and deploy the exact patched release listed in that advisory (Patch available per vendor advisory). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: immediately inventory all Tenable Security Center deployments and disable remote access to any internet-facing instances; restrict console access to a minimal set of trusted administrators and review access logs for suspicious activity. …
