[R1] Nessus Version 10.4.0 Fixes Multiple Vulnerabilities
Medium
Synopsis
Nessus leverages third-party software to help provide underlying functionality.
Several of the third-party components (select2.js, jQuery UI) were found to
contain vulnerabilities, and updated versions have been made available by the
providers. Additionally, two separate vulnerabilities (Client Side Validation
Bypass and Improper Access Control) were discovered, reported and fixed.
1. CVE-2022-3498 - An authenticated attacker could modify the client-side
behavior to bypass the protection mechanisms resulting in potentially
unexpected interactions between the client and server.
2. CVE-2022-3499 - An authenticated attacker could utilize the identical agent
and cluster node linking keys to potentially allow for a scenario where
unauthorized disclosure of agent logs and data is present.
Out of caution and in line with good practice, Tenable has opted to upgrade
these components to address the potential impact of the issues. Nessus 10.4.0
fixes the reported Client Side Validation Bypass and Improper Access Control
vulnerabilities, updates jquery-ui to version 1.13.2 and select2.js to version
4.0.13 to address the remaining identified vulnerabilities.
Solution
Tenable has released Nessus 10.4.0 to address these issues. The installation
