What to check
- Applies to
- The 2 CVEs named below. Whether you run an affected version is not assessed: check the versions the source lists.
- Exploitation
- A public exploit is recorded for CVE-2026-57588 (poc); no exploitation in the wild is recorded.
Tenable has disclosed multiple SQL injection (SQLi) vulnerabilities affecting Nessus versions prior to 10.12.0. These flaws enable an attacker to inject and execute arbitrary SQL commands against the application's database. SQL injection vulnerabilities can lead to unauthorized data access, modification, or deletion, depending on the database privileges and the application's architecture.
The vulnerabilities are tracked as CVE-2026-57587 and CVE-2026-57588. Tenable released security bulletin TNS-2026-17 on June 24, 2026, providing patches in Nessus version 10.12.0. Organizations running affected versions should prioritize upgrading to the patched release to mitigate exploitation risk.
Given that Nessus is a widely-deployed vulnerability scanner with privileged access to network infrastructure and sensitive scan data, these SQLi flaws represent a significant risk if exploited. However, there is no indication of active in-the-wild exploitation at this time.

What this brief leaves out
This page is the free tier: the write-up, the severity, the names. In the app the same report carries live profiles of the CVEs it names. The paid plans add the security research and news reporting the free tier leaves out.
It sits in a corpus of 16,433 reports from 149 sources, 661 of them written in the last seven days, and it grows through the day.
A new account starts with three days of all of it, no card, then keeps the government and CERT reporting free. Slack alerts are a paid-plan feature: name the vendors you run and Slack hears about the reports that touch them, not the rest of the week's. Nothing is charged unless you subscribe.
