8.8 HIGH

Network-reachable REST endpoint with low complexity and no user interaction, but a valid low-privileged account is required so PR:L; full command execution yields C/I/A High.

DescriptionCVE.org

Unvalidated input in asset filter parameters allows shell metacharacters to escape command argument handling, resulting in remote code execution as a low-privileged OS user via the Analysis REST endpoint.

AnalysisAI

Authenticated remote code execution in Tenable Security Center allows an attacker to inject shell metacharacters through asset filter parameters on the Analysis REST endpoint, breaking out of command argument handling to run arbitrary commands as a low-privileged OS user. The CVSS 4.0 base score of 9.4 reflects high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact plus a scope change to subsequent systems, though exploitation requires low-level authenticated access (PR:L). …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires an authenticated Security Center session at low privilege (CVSS PR:L) and network reachability to the Analysis REST endpoint; the attacker must be able to submit crafted asset filter parameters carrying shell metacharacters that escape command argument handling. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment This is a genuine priority for organizations running Security Center, but not a mass-exploitation, drop-everything internet worm scenario. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker who has obtained a low-privileged Security Center login (via phishing, credential reuse, or an insider) submits an asset filter parameter to the Analysis REST endpoint containing shell metacharacters such as ; or $(...), causing the injected command to execute on the host as the service OS user. From there they read scan results and stored scan credentials or pivot deeper into the network. …
Remediation Consult Tenable advisory TNS-2026-19 (https://www.tenable.com/security/tns-2026-19) and upgrade to the fixed Security Center release specified there - the exact patched version is not included in the provided data, so it must be taken from the advisory rather than assumed. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, identify all Tenable Security Center instances and current versions, restrict authenticated access to essential security staff only by auditing and revoking unnecessary credentials, and enable comprehensive REST API audit logging with focus on asset filter parameters. …
