It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2026-33694 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2026-33694 is a high-severity path traversal vulnerability in Tenable Nessus, published on 23 Apr 2026. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-33694 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Tenable Nessus. 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-2026-33694/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-33694/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-33694","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-33694/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-33694","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-hjr9-62gj-chhf"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Vulnerability Scanner","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can create junctions to delete arbitrary files and execute code with SYSTEM privileges in Tenable Nessus products.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"tenable","cpe":[{"product":"nessus","vendor":"tenable"},{"product":"nessus_agent","vendor":"tenable"}],"cvss":{"score":7.4,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:H/SI:H/SA:H/E:P","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-59","name":"Improper Link Resolution Before File Access"}],"description":"This vulnerability allows an attacker to create a junction, enabling the deletion of arbitrary files with SYSTEM privileges.
