Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Tenable Network Monitor versions prior to 6.5.1

Description The issue arises when Tenable Network Monitor is installed to a non-default location on a Windows host. In such cases, versions prior to 6.5.1 did not enforce secure permissions for sub-directories, potentially allowing for local privilege escalation if users had not secured the directories in the non-default installation location.

Recommendations For versions prior to 6.5.1, update to version 6.5.1 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider manually securing the sub-directories in the non-default installation location to prevent local privilege escalation.
