Tenable Security Center Multiple Vulnerabilities (TNS-2026-10)

high Nessus Plugin ID 307259

Synopsis

An instance of Security Center installed on the remote system is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

According to its self-reported version, the Tenable Security Center running on the remote host is 6.5.0 through 6.8.0 and missing security patch SC202604.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TNS-2026-10 advisory.

- Missing validation of multibyte character length in PostgreSQL text manipulation allows a database user to issue crafted queries that achieve a buffer overrun. That suffices to execute arbitrary code as the operating system user running the database. Versions before PostgreSQL 18.2, 17.8, 16.12, 15.16, and 14.21 are affected. (CVE-2026-2006)

- Heap buffer overflow in PostgreSQL pgcrypto allows a ciphertext provider to execute arbitrary code as the operating system user running the database. Versions before PostgreSQL 18.2, 17.8, 16.12, 15.16, and 14.21 are affected. (CVE-2026-2005)

- Missing validation of type of input in PostgreSQL intarray extension selectivity estimator function allows an object creator to execute arbitrary code as the operating system user running the database. Versions before PostgreSQL 18.2, 17.8, 16.12, 15.16, and 14.21 are affected. (CVE-2026-2004)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Apply security patch SC202604.1 or later. For version 6.5.0, upgrade to 6.5.1 and apply the patch.
