Network-reachable console, low complexity, requires only a low-privilege authenticated account (PR:L); command injection escaping the app to the OS justifies S:C with full C/I/A impact.
Primary rating from Vendor (tenable).

Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.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. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
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. …
