Network-reachable command injection with low complexity; PR:L follows the vendor vector despite the 'unauthenticated' text, and S:C reflects OS-level impact beyond the application, with full C/I/A loss.
Primary rating from Vendor (tenable).

Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
A command injection vulnerability exists in Security Center where a remote, unauthenticated attacker could exploit this issue to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying operating system with the privileges of the service account.
AnalysisAI
OS command injection in Tenable Security Center (formerly Tenable.sc) lets a remote attacker run arbitrary operating-system commands as the service account, yielding full control of the vulnerability-management console. Rated CVSS 9.4 (CVSS 4.0) with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact extending to the underlying host. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires network reachability to the Tenable Security Center web application (AV:N) and, per the published CVSS vector, low-level privileges (PR:L) - i.e., some valid account or session - even though the vendor description states 'unauthenticated'; this contradiction should be verified with Tenable before assuming pre-authentication exploitation is possible. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The signals point to a high-priority issue: network attack vector (AV:N), low complexity (AC:L), no attack requirements (AT:N), no user interaction (UI:N), and full high impact across all metrics, producing a 9.4 base score. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker who can reach the Security Center web interface submits a crafted request containing shell metacharacters in a parameter that is passed to an OS command, causing the appliance to execute attacker-chosen commands as the service account. From that foothold the attacker can read stored scan data and credentials, pivot into the environment, or establish persistence. … |
| Remediation | Apply the fix described in Tenable advisory tns-2026-22 (https://www.tenable.com/security/tns-2026-22); the provided data does not contain an exact fixed version number, so treat patch status as 'patch available per vendor advisory' and confirm the specific patched build from that page rather than assuming a version. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, isolate Tenable Security Center instances from untrusted network segments, confirm the installed version from the administrative console, and preserve authentication and process-execution logs for forensic review. …
