The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up.

Exploitation Conditions

Requires local access to a host running the Tanium Performance client extension (CX) or the Endpoint Configuration Toolset Solution, plus low-level privileges on that host (CVSS PR:L), with no user interaction. The specific feature input or operation that drives the uncontrolled resource consumption is not described in the available sources. Exploitation is limited by the local attack vector (AV:L - no remote/network path) and by the need for pre-existing authenticated access; impact is confined to availability of the affected endpoint agent, with no confidentiality or integrity consequence and no scope change to other components.

Impact

This is a moderate-severity, availability-only issue rather than a top-tier priority. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H, base 5.5) describes a local, low-complexity attack requiring low-level privileges, with no confidentiality or integrity impact and high availability impact - consistent with the CWE-770 uncontrolled-resource-consumption / denial-of-service classification. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, no CISA KEV listing, and no EPSS score was supplied, so there is no signal of active or probable exploitation. The vuln.today decision label is 'this_month', which aligns with a patch-available, non-emergency DoS: schedule remediation in the normal cycle rather than treat it as an incident. The main caveat is that the vendor-supplied description is extremely terse ('uncontrolled resource consumption in Performance Client Extension') and gives no trigger mechanism, so the practical difficulty of causing the resource exhaustion cannot be judged beyond the CVSS metrics; the SSVC-style signals (automatable, exploitation status) were not provided and cannot be inferred. Net: a real but low-urgency, local DoS against a specific enterprise agent - patch on the monthly cycle.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker who already has low-privileged local access to a host running the Tanium Performance client extension (or the Endpoint Configuration Toolset) supplies input or triggers an operation that the extension fails to bound, causing uncontrolled consumption of memory, CPU, or another resource and crashing or hanging the agent. The impact is limited to denial of service on that endpoint; there is no confidentiality or integrity effect. No public exploit code is known, and the exact trigger is not described in the available sources.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 28, 2026

Local denial of service in the Tanium Performance client extension (performance-cx) and the Tanium Endpoint Configuration Toolset Solution lets a user who already holds low-level privileges on an endpoint exhaust resources in the agent, degrading or halting its availability with no confidentiality or integrity impact. The flaw is availability-only (CVSS 5.5, AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H) and requires local access to the host, so it is a moderate-severity issue rather than a top-tier priority. Tanium has released fixed builds and no public exploit was identified at time of analysis; priority is this_month.

RemediationAI

Tanium has released patched builds: upgrade the Performance client extension to 2.7.648, 2.8.2110, 2.9.1165, 2.11.1312, 2.13.1010, or 2.14.56 (or later on the corresponding branch), and the Endpoint Configuration Toolset Solution to 1.51.60, 1.59.50, or 1.71.25 (or later). Consult the vendor advisory at https://security.tanium.com/TAN-2026-070 for the authoritative per-branch fix list and deployment guidance. Because the attack vector is local and requires pre-existing low-level privileges on the endpoint, reducing the population of non-administrative local accounts on Tanium-managed hosts and confirming which agent versions are actually deployed limits practical exposure while upgrades roll out; priority is this_month and no public exploit was identified at time of analysis.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The root cause class is CWE-770, allocation of resources without limits or throttling: a code path in the Tanium Performance client extension (CX) does not cap or throttle resource consumption, so a local low-privileged actor on the managed endpoint can drive the agent into resource exhaustion. The affected CPEs are tanium:performance-cx and tanium:endpoint_configuration_toolset_solution, and the CVSS vector is strictly local (AV:L) with low privileges required (PR:L), no user interaction, unchanged scope, and impact limited to availability (A:H) with no C/I effect. The specific feature input or operation that drives the uncontrolled consumption is not described in the available sources, so the exact trigger and the degree to which the affected agent functionality is degraded remain unverified beyond the vendor's resource-consumption classification.
