Synopsis

Audit files that are built into the Tenable products provide capability to adjust the audit evaluation to meet organizational requirements. A vulnerability was reported where through modifying the scan variables, an authenticated user in Tenable products, that has Scan Policy Configuration roles, could manipulate audit policy variables to execute arbitrary commands on credentialed scan targets.

Tenable.io has been updated with the plugins and content necessary to remediate this vulnerability.
Tenable.sc updates are distributed in the feed and activated when the customer uses the new template.
