An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-9158 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Tenable Nessus Network Monitor. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-9158/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-9158/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-9158","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-9158/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-9158","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-x6r9-hvfc-r4m7"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Network monitoring software","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"An authenticated privileged local attacker can inject arbitrary code into the Nessus Network Monitor UI via the local CLI, enabling stored XSS attacks.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"tenable","cpe":[{"product":"nessus_network_monitor","vendor":"tenable"}],"cvss":{"score":8.4,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"A stored cross site scripting vulnerability exists in Nessus Network Monitor where an authenticated, privileged local attacker could inject arbitrary code into the NNM UI via the local CLI.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"XSS","id":"CVE-2024-9158","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Incorrect Authorization in gaizhenbiao/chuanhuchatgpt","id":"CVE-2024-9159"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Privilege Escalation Vulnerability in CxUIUSvc service","id":"CVE-2024-9157"},"products":["Nessus Network Monitor"],"published":"2024-09-30","related":[{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Improper Access Control leads to Local Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2025-24917","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-05-23"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Path traversal in Nessus Network Monitor","id":"CVE-2020-5794","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-11-06"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Blind SQL Injection","id":"CVE-2023-5624","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-10-26"},{"cvss_score":7.1,"headline":"Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2023-5622","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-10-26"},{"cvss_score":7,"headline":"Improper Access Control leads to Local Priviledge Escalation","id":"CVE-2025-24916","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-05-23"},{"cvss_score":7,"headline":"Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2023-5623","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-10-26"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-09-30","vendors":["Tenable"]},"summary":"An authenticated privileged local attacker can inject arbitrary code into the Nessus Network Monitor UI via the local CLI, enabling stored XSS attacks.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-9158/"}
