CVE-2022-0778 7 Debian, Fedoraproject, Mariadb and 4 more 15 Debian Linux, Fedora, Mariadb and 12 more 2026-05-22 5.0 MEDIUM 7.5 HIGH
The BN_mod_sqrt() function, which computes a modular square root, contains a bug that can cause it to loop forever for non-prime moduli. Internally this function is used when parsing certificates that contain elliptic curve public keys in compressed form or explicit elliptic curve parameters with a base point encoded in compressed form. It is possible to trigger the infinite loop by crafting a certificate that has invalid explicit curve parameters. Since certificate parsing happens prior to verification of the certificate signature, any process that parses an externally supplied certificate may thus be subject to a denial of service attack. The infinite loop can also be reached when parsing crafted private keys as they can contain explicit elliptic curve parameters. Thus vulnerable situations include: - TLS clients consuming server certificates - TLS servers consuming client certificates - Hosting providers taking certificates or private keys from customers - Certificate authorities parsing certification requests from subscribers - Anything else which parses ASN.1 elliptic curve parameters Also any other applications that use the BN_mod_sqrt() where the attacker can control the parameter values are vulnerable to this DoS issue. In the OpenSSL 1.0.2 version the public key is not parsed during initial parsing of the certificate which makes it slightly harder to trigger the infinite loop. However any operation which requires the public key from the certificate will trigger the infinite loop. In particular the attacker can use a self-signed certificate to trigger the loop during verification of the certificate signature. This issue affects OpenSSL versions 1.0.2, 1.1.1 and 3.0. It was addressed in the releases of 1.1.1n and 3.0.2 on the 15th March 2022. Fixed in OpenSSL 3.0.2 (Affected 3.0.0,3.0.1). Fixed in OpenSSL 1.1.1n (Affected 1.1.1-1.1.1m). Fixed in OpenSSL 1.0.2zd (Affected 1.0.2-1.0.2zc).

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Tenable Nessus before 6.9.1 allows remote authenticated users to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unspecified vectors.
CVE-2017-2122 1 Tenable 1 Nessus 2026-05-13 3.5 LOW 5.4 MEDIUM
Cross-site scripting vulnerability in Nessus versions 6.8.0, 6.8.1, 6.9.0, 6.9.1 and 6.9.2 allows remote authenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unspecified vectors.
CVE-2017-6543 2 Microsoft, Tenable 3 Windows, Appliance, Nessus 2026-05-13 6.0 MEDIUM 7.3 HIGH
Tenable Nessus before 6.10.2 (as used alone or in Tenable Appliance before 4.5.0) was found to contain a flaw that allowed a remote, authenticated attacker to upload a crafted file that could be written to anywhere on the system. This could be used to subsequently gain elevated privileges on the system (e.g., after a reboot). This issue only affects installations on Windows.
CVE-2016-9260 1 Tenable 1 Nessus 2026-05-13 3.5 LOW 5.4 MEDIUM
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Tenable Nessus before 6.9 allows remote authenticated users to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via vectors related to handling of .nessus files.
CVE-2016-4055 3 Momentjs, Oracle, Tenable 3 Moment, Primavera Unifier, Nessus 2026-05-13 7.8 HIGH 6.5 MEDIUM
The duration function in the moment package before 2.11.2 for Node.js allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a long string, aka a "regular expression Denial of Service (ReDoS)."
CVE-2017-7199 1 Tenable 1 Nessus 2026-05-13 7.2 HIGH 7.8 HIGH
Nessus 6.6.2 - 6.10.3 contains a flaw related to insecure permissions that may allow a local attacker to escalate privileges when the software is running in Agent Mode. Version 6.10.4 fixes this issue.
CVE-2017-7849 1 Tenable 1 Nessus 2026-05-13 2.1 LOW 5.5 MEDIUM
Nessus 6.10.x before 6.10.5 was found to be vulnerable to a local denial of service condition due to insecure permissions when running in Agent Mode.
CVE-2017-11506 1 Tenable 1 Nessus 2026-05-13 5.8 MEDIUM 7.4 HIGH
When linking a Nessus scanner or agent to Tenable.io or other manager, Nessus 6.x before 6.11 does not verify the manager's TLS certificate when making the initial outgoing connection. This could allow man-in-the-middle attacks.
CVE-2014-4980 1 Tenable 2 Nessus, Web Ui 2026-05-06 5.0 MEDIUM N/A
The /server/properties resource in Tenable Web UI before 2.3.5 for Nessus 5.2.3 through 5.2.7 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via the token parameter.
