An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-15265 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: tenable_agent. 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-2026-15265/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-15265/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-15265","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-15265/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-15265","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-h23h-6wgx-rvw7"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Tenable Agent","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"A privileged attacker can exploit a path traversal flaw in Tenable Agent to write arbitrary files, potentially achieving remote code execution.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"tenable","cpe":[{"product":"nessus_agent","vendor":"tenable"}],"cvss":{"score":9.3,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:H/SI:H/SA:H","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-347","name":"Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature"},{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"A path traversal vulnerability in Tenable Agent 11.2.0 and 11.1.3 and lower allows a privileged attacker to write arbitrary files outside the intended plugin directory, potentially leading to remote code execution.","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":"Tenable Agent Path Traversal Leading to Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2026-15265","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Taskbuilder \u003c= 5.0.9 - Authenticated (Subscriber+) SQL Injection","id":"CVE-2026-15267"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Admin Columns for ACF Fields \u003c= 0.3.2 - Contributor+ Stored XSS via ACF Field Value Column","id":"CVE-2026-15262"},"products":["tenable_agent"],"published":"2026-07-14","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Local Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2025-36633","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-06-13"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Local Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2025-36631","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-06-13"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Local Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2025-36632","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-06-16"},{"cvss_score":6.7,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Nessus Agent","id":"CVE-2021-20117","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-09-09"},{"cvss_score":6.7,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Nessus Agent","id":"CVE-2021-20118","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-09-09"},{"cvss_score":6.7,"headline":"Information disclosure in Tenable Nessus Agent","id":"CVE-2021-20077","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-03-19"}],"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":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-07-14","vendors":["tenable"]},"summary":"A privileged attacker can exploit a path traversal flaw in Tenable Agent to write arbitrary files, potentially achieving remote code execution.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-15265/"}
