Security readout for executives and security teams
This is a stored cross-site scripting issue in Tenable Nessus before 6.8. An attacker already authenticated as a Nessus administrator could store content in the UI that may affect other administrators. Business urgency depends on whether legacy Nessus instances remain deployed and how many admins use them. Exposure appears limited to organizations running Tenable Nessus before 6.8. Risk is higher where the Nessus admin UI is reachable by multiple privileged users. The source bundle lacks populated CPE data, so validate exposure through asset inventory and product version checks. Treat this as a targeted legacy-product risk, not a broad internet emergency based on the supplied evidence. Prioritize confirmation and upgrade if old Nessus servers remain in use, because compromise would involve administrative security tooling. Mitigation focus: Identify any Tenable Nessus deployments older than version 6.8.; Review Tenable advisory TNS-2016-11 for vendor-supported remediation guidance.; Upgrade affected Nessus instances to a vendor-supported fixed release where applicable..
