Technical details

A SQL injection vulnerability (CWE-89) exists in Tenable Nessus due to improper neutralization of special elements within scan result files. An attacker can exploit this by crafting a malicious scan result file and social engineering a privileged user into importing it into the Nessus console. Upon import, the malicious SQL commands are executed against the underlying scan results database. This could allow an attacker to exfiltrate sensitive scan data. The vulnerability is addressed in Nessus version 10.12.1.
