Custom audit files bring tremendous power and flexibility when assessing the configuration of your assets. Two separate vulnerabilities that utilize this custom Audit functionality were identified, reported and fixed. With the release of Nessus Agent 8.3.4, Tenable has mitigated the reported issues by enabling the ability to sign and verify custom audit files.
1. CVE-2022-32973 – An authenticated attacker could create an audit file that bypasses PowerShell cmdlet checks and executes commands with administrator privileges.
2. CVE-2022-32974 – An authenticated attacker could read arbitrary files from the underlying operating system of the scanner using a custom crafted compliance audit file without providing any valid SSH credentials.

** REJECT ** DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER. ConsultIDs: none. Reason: This candidate was withdrawn by its CNA. Further investigation showed that it was not a security issue. Notes: none.
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to bypass authentication on affected installations of Delta Industrial Automation DIALink. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.
This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of Linux Kernel. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability.
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Mozilla Firefox and Mozilla Thunderbird, the most severe of which could allow for arbitrary code execution.
Mozilla Firefox is a web browser used to access the Internet.
Mozilla Firefox ESR is a version of the web browser intended to be deployed in large organizations.
Mozilla Thunderbird is a free and open-source cross-platform email client, personal information manager, news client, RSS and chat client
Successful exploitation of the most severe of these vulnerabilities could allow for arbitrary code execution in the context of the logged on user. Depending on the privileges associated with the user an attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than those who operate with administrative user rights.
