Network-reachable audit upload needs an authenticated low-privileged account (PR:L) and no user interaction; command injection yields high C/I/A with no scope change to other systems.

Lifecycle Timeline
6DescriptionCVE.org
The audit file upload handler does not sanitize filenames, allowing shell metacharacters to flow into system command execution. This input validation failure enables command injection when chained with a related vulnerability.
AnalysisAI
OS command injection in Tenable Security Center (formerly Tenable.sc) lets authenticated users abuse the audit file upload handler, which fails to sanitize filenames and lets shell metacharacters reach a system command call. Rated CVSS 4.0 8.7 (High), the flaw is described as reaching full command execution when chained with a related vulnerability, giving an attacker code execution on the appliance. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires an authenticated Tenable Security Center account (PR:L) with access to the audit file upload handler, and the attacker must supply a crafted filename containing shell metacharacters. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The supplied CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H) scores 8.7 High: network-reachable, low complexity, no user interaction, but requiring low-level privileges (PR:L), with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact and no scope change to other systems. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker holding a low-privileged authenticated Security Center account uploads an audit file whose filename embeds shell metacharacters (for example a trailing '; command' or '$(command)' construct). When the unsanitized filename is passed into a system command, the injected payload runs on the appliance with the service's privileges, and by chaining the referenced companion flaw the attacker escalates this into reliable code execution. … |
| Remediation | Apply the fixed release identified in Tenable's advisory tns-2026-19 (https://www.tenable.com/security/tns-2026-19); the exact patched version is not present in the provided data and must be read directly from that advisory rather than assumed. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: inventory all Tenable Security Center instances and document their versions; restrict network access to the audit upload handler via IP/VLAN segmentation; enable and review audit logging for all upload operations. …
