CVE-2020-5774 1 Tenable 1 Nessus 2026-06-17 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-2020-5765 1 Tenable 1 Nessus 2026-06-17 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-2019-3982 1 Tenable 1 Nessus 2026-06-17 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-2019-3974 2 Microsoft, Tenable 2 Windows, Nessus 2026-06-17 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-2019-3962 1 Tenable 1 Nessus 2026-06-17 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-2019-3961 1 Tenable 1 Nessus 2026-06-17 4.3 MEDIUM 6.1 MEDIUM
Nessus versions 8.4.0 and earlier were found to contain a reflected XSS vulnerability due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker could potentially exploit this vulnerability via a specially crafted request to execute arbitrary script code in a users browser session.
CVE-2019-3923 1 Tenable 1 Nessus 2026-06-17 3.5 LOW 5.4 MEDIUM
Nessus versions 8.2.1 and earlier were found to contain a stored XSS vulnerability due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An authenticated, remote attacker could potentially exploit this vulnerability via a specially crafted request to execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser session. Tenable has released Nessus 8.2.2 to address this issue.
CVE-2019-1559 13 Canonical, Debian, F5 and 10 more 90 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Big-ip Access Policy Manager and 87 more 2026-06-17 4.3 MEDIUM 5.9 MEDIUM
If an application encounters a fatal protocol error and then calls SSL_shutdown() twice (once to send a close_notify, and once to receive one) then OpenSSL can respond differently to the calling application if a 0 byte record is received with invalid padding compared to if a 0 byte record is received with an invalid MAC. If the application then behaves differently based on that in a way that is detectable to the remote peer, then this amounts to a padding oracle that could be used to decrypt data. In order for this to be exploitable "non-stitched" ciphersuites must be in use. Stitched ciphersuites are optimised implementations of certain commonly used ciphersuites. Also the application must call SSL_shutdown() twice even if a protocol error has occurred (applications should not do this but some do anyway). Fixed in OpenSSL 1.0.2r (Affected 1.0.2-1.0.2q).
CVE-2018-5407 7 Canonical, Debian, Nodejs and 4 more 20 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Node.js and 17 more 2026-06-17 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-2018-20843 7 Canonical, Debian, Fedoraproject and 4 more 9 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Fedora and 6 more 2026-06-17 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-2018-1148 1 Tenable 1 Nessus 2026-06-17 4.0 MEDIUM 6.5 MEDIUM
In Nessus before 7.1.0, Session Fixation exists due to insufficient session management within the application. An authenticated attacker could maintain system access due to session fixation after a user password change.
CVE-2018-1147 1 Tenable 1 Nessus 2026-06-17 3.5 LOW 5.4 MEDIUM
In Nessus before 7.1.0, a XSS vulnerability exists due to improper input validation. A remote authenticated attacker could create and upload a .nessus file, which may be viewed by an administrator allowing for the execution of arbitrary script code in a user's browser session. In other scenarios, XSS could also occur by altering variables from the Advanced Settings.
CVE-2018-1141 1 Tenable 1 Nessus 2026-06-17 4.4 MEDIUM 7.0 HIGH
When installing Nessus to a directory outside of the default location, Nessus versions prior to 7.0.3 did not enforce secure permissions for sub-directories. This could allow for local privilege escalation if users had not secured the directories in the installation location.
CVE-2017-7850 1 Tenable 1 Nessus 2026-06-17 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 2026-06-17 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 2026-06-17 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.
CVE-2017-6543 2 Microsoft, Tenable 3 Windows, Appliance, Nessus 2026-06-17 6.0 MEDIUM 7.3 HIGH
Tenable Nessus before 6.10.2 (as used alone or in Tenable Appliance before 4.5.0) was found to contain a flaw that allowed a remote, authenticated attacker to upload a crafted file that could be written to anywhere on the system. This could be used to subsequently gain elevated privileges on the system (e.g., after a reboot). This issue only affects installations on Windows.
CVE-2017-5179 1 Tenable 1 Nessus 2026-06-17 3.5 LOW 5.4 MEDIUM
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Tenable Nessus before 6.9.3 allows remote authenticated users to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unspecified vectors.
CVE-2017-2122 1 Tenable 1 Nessus 2026-06-17 3.5 LOW 5.4 MEDIUM
Cross-site scripting vulnerability in Nessus versions 6.8.0, 6.8.1, 6.9.0, 6.9.1 and 6.9.2 allows remote authenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unspecified vectors.
CVE-2017-18214 2 Momentjs, Tenable 2 Moment, Nessus 2026-06-17 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.
