CVE-2021-20135 1 Tenable 1 Nessus 2022-07-12 4.6 MEDIUM 6.7 MEDIUM
Nessus versions 8.15.2 and earlier were found to contain a local privilege escalation vulnerability which could allow an authenticated, local administrator to run specific executables on the Nessus Agent host. Tenable has included a fix for this issue in Nessus 10.0.0. The installation files can be obtained from the Tenable Downloads Portal (https://www.tenable.com/downloads/nessus).
CVE-2022-32973 1 Tenable 1 Nessus 2022-06-28 9.0 HIGH 8.8 HIGH
An authenticated attacker could create an audit file that bypasses PowerShell cmdlet checks and executes commands with administrator privileges.
CVE-2022-32974 1 Tenable 1 Nessus 2022-06-28 4.0 MEDIUM 6.5 MEDIUM
An authenticated attacker could read arbitrary files from the underlying operating system of the scanner using a custom crafted compliance audit file without providing any valid SSH credentials.
CVE-2016-4055 3 Momentjs, Oracle, Tenable 3 Moment, Primavera Unifier, Nessus 2022-06-06 7.8 HIGH 6.5 MEDIUM
The duration function in the moment package before 2.11.2 for Node.js allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a long string, aka a "regular expression Denial of Service (ReDoS)."
CVE-2018-20843 7 Canonical, Debian, Fedoraproject and 4 more 9 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Fedora and 6 more 2022-04-18 7.8 HIGH 7.5 HIGH
In libexpat in Expat before 2.2.7, XML input including XML names that contain a large number of colons could make the XML parser consume a high amount of RAM and CPU resources while processing (enough to be usable for denial-of-service attacks).
CVE-2017-18214 2 Momentjs, Tenable 2 Moment, Nessus 2022-02-14 5.0 MEDIUM 7.5 HIGH
The moment module before 2.19.3 for Node.js is prone to a regular expression denial of service via a crafted date string, a different vulnerability than CVE-2016-4055.
CVE-2020-5793 2 Microsoft, Tenable 3 Windows, Nessus, Nessus Agent 2020-11-16 7.2 HIGH 7.8 HIGH
A vulnerability in Nessus versions 8.9.0 through 8.12.0 for Windows & Nessus Agent 8.0.0 and 8.1.0 for Windows could allow an authenticated local attacker to copy user-supplied files to a specially constructed path in a specifically named user directory. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by creating a malicious file and copying the file to a system directory. The attacker needs valid credentials on the Windows system to exploit this vulnerability.
CVE-2018-5407 7 Canonical, Debian, Nodejs and 4 more 20 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Node.js and 17 more 2020-09-18 1.9 LOW 4.7 MEDIUM
Simultaneous Multi-threading (SMT) in processors can enable local users to exploit software vulnerable to timing attacks via a side-channel timing attack on 'port contention'.
CVE-2020-5774 1 Tenable 1 Nessus 2020-08-28 3.6 LOW 7.1 HIGH
Nessus versions 8.11.0 and earlier were found to maintain sessions longer than the permitted period in certain scenarios. The lack of proper session expiration could allow attackers with local access to login into an existing browser session.
CVE-2019-3962 1 Tenable 1 Nessus 2020-08-24 4.3 MEDIUM 3.3 LOW
Content Injection vulnerability in Tenable Nessus prior to 8.5.0 may allow an authenticated, local attacker to exploit this vulnerability by convincing another targeted Nessus user to view a malicious URL and use Nessus to send fraudulent messages. Successful exploitation could allow the authenticated adversary to inject arbitrary text into the feed status, which will remain saved post session expiration.
CVE-2019-3974 2 Microsoft, Tenable 2 Windows, Nessus 2020-08-24 8.5 HIGH 8.1 HIGH
Nessus 8.5.2 and earlier on Windows platforms were found to contain an issue where certain system files could be overwritten arbitrarily, potentially creating a denial of service condition.
CVE-2020-5765 1 Tenable 1 Nessus 2020-07-20 3.5 LOW 5.4 MEDIUM
Nessus 8.10.0 and earlier were found to contain a Stored XSS vulnerability due to improper validation of input during scan configuration. An authenticated, remote attacker could potentially exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code in a user's session. Tenable has implemented additional input validation mechanisms to correct this issue in Nessus 8.11.0.
CVE-2016-1000029 1 Tenable 1 Nessus 2019-12-31 3.5 LOW 4.8 MEDIUM
Tenable Nessus before 6.8 has a stored XSS issue that requires admin-level authentication to the Nessus UI, and would potentially impact other admins (Tenable IDs 5218 and 5269).
CVE-2016-1000028 1 Tenable 1 Nessus 2019-12-31 3.5 LOW 4.8 MEDIUM
Tenable Nessus before 6.8 has a stored XSS issue that requires admin-level authentication to the Nessus UI, and would only potentially impact other admins. (Tenable ID 5198).
CVE-2019-3982 1 Tenable 1 Nessus 2019-10-28 4.0 MEDIUM 6.5 MEDIUM
Nessus versions 8.6.0 and earlier were found to contain a Denial of Service vulnerability due to improper validation of specific imported scan types. An authenticated, remote attacker could potentially exploit this vulnerability to cause a Nessus scanner to become temporarily unresponsive.
CVE-2017-7850 1 Tenable 1 Nessus 2019-10-02 7.2 HIGH 7.8 HIGH
Nessus 6.10.x before 6.10.5 was found to be vulnerable to a local privilege escalation issue due to insecure permissions when running in Agent Mode.
CVE-2017-7849 1 Tenable 1 Nessus 2019-10-02 2.1 LOW 5.5 MEDIUM
Nessus 6.10.x before 6.10.5 was found to be vulnerable to a local denial of service condition due to insecure permissions when running in Agent Mode.
CVE-2017-7199 1 Tenable 1 Nessus 2019-10-02 7.2 HIGH 7.8 HIGH
Nessus 6.6.2 - 6.10.3 contains a flaw related to insecure permissions that may allow a local attacker to escalate privileges when the software is running in Agent Mode. Version 6.10.4 fixes this issue.
