Component Installs Require Paranoid Checks
Summary With this update, products that are deemed to be components of another application, will now require the scan to be run in paranoid mode to trigger generic vulnerability detection plugins. In this context, “generic vulnerability detection plugins” refers to plugins that cover advisories published by the component vendor (e.g., plugin ID 242325, SQLite < 3.50.2 Memory Corruption) rather than the operating system or “parent” application that distributes the component, either as a part of the operating system or a dependent tool of the parent application. Overview Tenable covers software that can be either installed as base level software, or be included as component software of a larger product installation. Base level software can be updated without any impact to the base product functionality. Component software is typically updated as part of the vendor update for the larger packaged product, and the individual components are not updatable. Non-paranoid scans will report base software vulnerabilities that are actionable. Paranoid scans will report on base software vulnerabilities as well component software vulnerabilities that are not actionable, but still package a potentially vulnerable version of the component. To enhance the accuracy of our vulnerability detection and provide users with greater control over scan results, we are implementing an update affecting how we flag vulnerabilities in software components. Our detection plugins for OpenSSL, Curl, LibCurl, Apache HTTPD, Apache Tomcat, SQLite, PHP, Python packages and Node.js modules can now identify when these packages are installed as components of another parent application (e.g., SQLite bundled with Trend Micro’s Deep Security Agent), rather than as standalone installs. Key Changes: Non-Paranoid Scans: Scans running in the default mode will no longer flag generic vulnerability detection plugins for these component installs. This is because vulnerabilities in components generally cannot be patched directly; users must wait for the parent application's vendor to issue an update. OS Vendor Advisories Unaffected: This change does not affect plugins for OS vendor security advisories that cover the same vulnerabilities (e.g., plugin ID 243452, RHEL 9 : sqlite (RHSA-2025:12522)). Paranoid Scans: For scans running in paranoid mode, generic vulnerability detection plugins will still trigger for component installs if the detected version is lower than the expected fixed version. Expected Impact: Customers running non-paranoid scans should anticipate seeing a reduction in potential vulnerability findings for OpenSSL, Curl, LibCurl, Apache HTTPD, Apache Tomcat, SQLite, PHP, Python packages and Node.js modules that are installed as components. Technical Details: The changes are entirely contained within two shared libraries, vcf.inc and vdf.inc, utilized by the affected plugins. This update impacts approximately 750 plugins specific to OpenSSL, Curl, LibCurl, Apache HTTPD, Apache Tomcat, and SQLite. Targeted Release Date: TBDGA Release: Tenable WAS Integration for ServiceNow VR (v30.2.0)

View full cloud release notes Tenable Identity Exposure This month, we are focusing on removing deployment friction for indicators of attack (IoA). To maintain a high-velocity security posture, we have simplified the process of authorizing installation scripts within your existing EDR/AV environments. Frictionless IoA deployment: We’ve added three new parameters to the IoA installation script to ensure your security stack works in harmony. This enhancement accelerates time-to-protection by pre-authorizing deployment scripts and preventing false-positive blocks from security tools. Proactive authorization: Use OutputCertificate or GetSignatureToWhitelist to retrieve the Tenable certificate or script hash for immediate allowlisting. Controlled execution: The TimerInMinutes parameter allows you to delay installation, ensuring your environment has processed allowlist updates before the script runs. View full identity release notes By focusing on these specific parameters, your team can avoid the manual overhead of troubleshooting blocked installations and move directly to monitoring for identity-based threats. Tenable Vulnerability Management Streamline your Microsoft Patch Tuesday remediation Master the monthly operational challenge of Microsoft Patch Tuesday with the updated one-stop-shop dashboard. You can now balance critical deployments against user disruption with a comprehensive view of your organization's remediation status to quickly detect vulnerable devices and prioritize the most difficult issues. This update leverages three key advancements: Enhanced VPR analysis: Utilize the newest algorithm to focus on your most critical vulnerabilities. The enhanced analysis reduces your workload and offers greater explainability for risk scoring. Granular asset tracking: Leverage new software inventory attributes to distinctly analyze risk across operating systems versus applications and packages. Reboot detection: Instantly identify assets with applied patches that are vulnerable due to a pending reboot, so you can close security gaps completely. Download a new copy of this dashboard to access the new widgets and data visualizations. Nessus SSH Session Re-use feature added for credential scans Nessus now supports an opt-in feature to reuse SSH sessions during a scan when running Nessus version 10.9.0 or greater.

Node.js Module Enumeration Detection Updates
Summary Tenable has updated the Node.js module enumeration plugins to reduce false positives and to better identify vulnerabilities when multiple packages are present on the scan target. Change Before this update, the Node.js module enumeration plugins did not attempt to associate detected packages with an RPM or DEB package managed by the Linux distribution. This would cause some packages to report vulnerabilities both based on a Linux distribution vendor’s advisory and a CVE advisory from the Node.js module maintainer. In addition, some Node.js installations on macOS that originated from third-party package managers, or from source, were not detected by the Node.js detection plugin. This would prevent the Node.js module enumeration plugin from running on those macOS assets. In some cases, a large volume of Node.js modules detected would cause the enumeration plugin to crash when attempting to report the list of modules in plugin output. After this update, these issues have been addressed. Vulnerable Node.js modules on Linux assets will be assessed to determine if they are managed by a Linux distribution’s package manager, and if so, will be marked as “Managed” and will not report a vulnerability, unless the Show potential false alarms setting is enabled for the scan. Node.js installs on Windows and macOS that were not previously detected due to the installation method will now be detected, and their installed modules will be enumerated. The module enumeration plugins will no longer report the list of detected modules in plugin output; rather, they will use only internal storage mechanisms to record the detected modules, so that Node.js vulnerability plugins can continue to use that data for version checks. Impact Most customers will notice a reduction in the volume of Node.js module vulnerabilities reported. Some Windows and macOS scan results may show an increase in detected vulnerabilities if Node.js was not previously detected based on the installation method. If a large number of modules is present on a scan target and had previously caused the plugin to malfunction and report no vulnerabilities, those targets may show previously unreported vulnerabilities, as the module enumeration plugin would now complete and allow the vulnerability plugins to execute.
