[NEU] [hoch] Tenable Security Nessus: Mehrere Schwachstellen

Multiple high-severity Tenable Nessus flaws—including RCE, SQLi, and privilege escalation—risk turning your own vulnerability scanner into an attack vector if left unpatched.

Summary written by editorial AI · Source link below

Filed by CERT-Bund (BSI)1 min readRead at source ↗

Ein entfernter, authentisierter Angreifer kann mehrere Schwachstellen in Tenable Security Nessus ausnutzen, um beliebigen Code auszuführen, erweiterte Berechtigungen zu erlangen, Sicherheitsmaßnahmen zu umgehen, SQL-Injection durchzuführen, Daten zu manipulieren und offenzulegen oder einen Denial-of-Service-Zustand auszulösen.

Editorial Analysis

Why it matters

A compromised vulnerability scanner holds credentials and network maps for the entire estate, making these flaws exceptionally dangerous for enterprises relying on Nessus.

What to do

Patch all Nessus instances immediately, rotate stored scan credentials, and segment scanner hosts from untrusted networks.

Board brief

Flaws in the Nessus vulnerability scanner could let attackers leverage our own security tooling for reconnaissance and code execution.
