[R1] Tenable Plugin Feed ID #202212081952 Fixes Arbitrary Code Execution Vulnerability

Critical

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.

CVE-2022-4313

This vulnerability only includes built-in audits that are selected through the product interfaces. It does not include custom audits that are uploaded by the customer.

Solution

Tenable has released updated compliance plugins and audit files that will validate customer entered values against defined variable types. The plugins have been distributed via the Tenable plugin feed 202212081952 or later. Audits have been distributed to the products through the standard channels with the following notes:

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.
Nessus version 10.4.2 or later will have the updated audit content.

Users of earlier versions can perform a manual update of the audit warehouse to obtain the content. Please refer to the additional resources below for more information.
