CyberArk PVWA Credentials from CCP
Summary Tenable is proud to announce an enhancement to credentialed scanning using CyberArk Auto-Discovery. Specifically, as it relates to how customers can manage Password Vault Web Access (PVWA) credentials in the CyberArk Vault, and fetch them from the Central Credential Provider (CCP). When using CyberArk Auto-Discovery, the scanner accesses the Password Vault Web Access (PVWA) API to enumerate accounts to be dynamically added as targets to the scan, and the scanner uses a username and password to authenticate to this API. This new feature offers the ability to store the username and password combination in CyberArk itself, eliminating the need to manually manage these credentials. New Feature The feature adds a new drop-down menu, named “PVWA REST API Authentication Type”, which has two options, “Username and Password” and “Gather from CCP”. “Username and Password” is the default and previous behavior of manually entering the PVWA username and password. “Gather from CCP” provides the ability to gather these values from the vault, by instead providing the Account Name (unique credential identifier) of the account containing PVWA credentials. Please note that this change only affects configurations using CyberArk Auto-Discovery as a Windows, Database or SSH authentication method, because these are the only integrations that interface with the PVWA. The following other integrations are unaffected by this change: CyberArk (without auto-discovery) CyberArk Secrets Manager CyberArk (Legacy) Additionally, this change requires a minimum Nessus scanner version of 10.10. Attempting to use this feature with an older Nessus version will fail with an error in the debugging log report which reads: Please note that fetching PVWA creds from the Central Credential Provider requires Nessus scanner version 10.10 or later. For more information, please refer to the CyberArk integrations documentation: https://docs.tenable.com/Integrations.htm Impact There is no change necessary for customer configurations. Customers with existing Auto-Discovery credentials will continue to use username and password authentication, but will have the option to try the new feature by selecting “Gather from CCP”.

SUMMARY Tenable Research is making changes to Windows-based patch management integrations that affect vulnerability remediation. This announcement only applies to customers who are using the WSUS and SCCM patch management credentials. Vulnerabilities identified by WSUS and SCCM integrations will now be identified as “local checks”, which will cause them to now affect vulnerability remediation, also known as vulnerability mitigation. CHANGE Prior to this change, vulnerabilities identified by these scans could not be remediated except by a Host credentialed scan - in other words, a Windows (SMB) credential. After this change, vulnerabilities identified by these Windows patch management scans may be remediated with a subsequent Windows patch management scan. Windows patch management credentials will identify only a subset of the vulnerabilities that a Host credentialed scan will. Therefore, a scenario could arise in which a patch management scan incorrectly remediates vulnerabilities previously identified by a Host credentialed scan. To prevent incorrectly remediating vulnerabilities, Tenable advises customers using a combination of patch management and Host credentials to combine them in a single scan, rather than running them in separate scans. IMPACT Customers who are not using patch management credentials are not affected by this change. Customers using patch management credentials but not Host credentials do not need to take any action, but will now see vulnerabilities identified by Windows and SCCM integrations being remediated. The guidance to combine credentials in a single scan applies to customers who are using Windows-based patch management credentials in combination with Windows Host (SMB) credentials.
