Network-reachable report feature exploitable by any low-privilege account (PR:L) with no user interaction; eval injection yields full code execution and the service account's broader reach justifies S:C with C/I/A:H.
Primary rating from Vendor (tenable).

Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Tenable Security Center's report generation functionality. An authenticated, non-administrative user could exploit this issue by supplying specially crafted input that is later processed unsafely during server-side report rendering, resulting in arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the service account.
AnalysisAI
Remote code execution in Tenable Security Center's report-generation subsystem allows an authenticated, non-administrative user to run arbitrary code with the privileges of the service account by submitting crafted input that is unsafely evaluated during server-side report rendering. Because Security Center is itself a centralized vulnerability-management platform holding scan data and credentials for an entire estate, compromise of the service account is high-impact. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires an authenticated account with access to the report-generation feature of Tenable Security Center (CVSS PR:L confirms a low-privilege but non-anonymous account is needed; administrative rights are explicitly NOT required). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 base score of 9.4 (Critical) is driven by a network vector with low attack complexity, high impact to confidentiality, integrity and availability of both the vulnerable system and subsequent systems, and - importantly - a privilege requirement of PR:L rather than PR:N, meaning some valid low-privilege account is a hard prerequisite. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An analyst-level user who already holds valid Security Center credentials (for example a contractor or a compromised low-privilege account) crafts a malicious report input containing an injected code directive, then triggers report generation; the server evaluates the payload during rendering and executes attacker-controlled commands as the SC service account. From there the attacker can read stored scan results and credentials and pivot into the managed environment. … |
| Remediation | Patch available per vendor advisory: apply the fixed Tenable Security Center release identified in tns-2026-22 (https://www.tenable.com/security/tns-2026-22); the input data does not include an exact fix version, so confirm the target build directly from the advisory before scheduling the upgrade. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: immediately inventory all Tenable Security Center instances and network configurations, restrict access to the console and report-generation endpoints to essential personnel only, and enable comprehensive audit logging for all report generation activities and service account operations. …
