Summary

CVE-2024-1367 is a high-severity OS Command Injection (CWE-78) vulnerability in Tenable Security Center. Its CVSS base score is 7.2 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Command and Scripting Interpreter (T1059); ranked in the top 27% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.

A command injection vulnerability tracked as CVE-2024-1367 affects the Tenable Security Center application. The flaw, assigned CWE-78, allows modification of Logging parameters and carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 7.2.

An authenticated remote attacker who already possesses administrator privileges on the Security Center instance can supply crafted input to the logging configuration and thereby execute arbitrary code on the underlying host.

The referenced Tenable advisory TNS-2024-02 provides guidance on available updates and configuration changes that address the issue.

EPSS for the CVE has remained flat at 0.0510 with no material increase since disclosure.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SA-11 Developer Testing and Evaluation good match

Developer testing and evaluation can discover missing or incorrect command sanitization during development.

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match

Input validation directly neutralizes or rejects special characters that would otherwise alter OS command structure.

AC-6 Least Privilege partial match

Least privilege reduces the permissions available to any process that could be subverted by injected commands.

CM-7 Least Functionality partial match

Least functionality restricts available OS commands and interpreters, limiting the blast radius of injection.

SA-8 Security and Privacy Engineering Principles partial match

Secure engineering principles require proper neutralization of untrusted input before command construction.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

PR.PS-06's SDLC practices directly require secure coding and input handling that blocks command-injection defects, yet the single broad outcome leaves many specific neutralization vectors and verification gaps unaddressed.

PR.PS-02 partial match
prevents

Routine patching/maintenance can remediate known command-injection CVEs in dependencies (partial forward) but does nothing to stop developers from introducing improper neutralization in custom code (none reverse).

Security testing and code review target insecure use of operating-system command interfaces, catching command-injection flaws introduced during development.
