CVE-2026-64879 is a command injection vulnerability affecting Tenable Security Center on Linux. The flaw is present in the audit file upload functionality, where a user-supplied filename is not properly sanitized before being incorporated into system command execution. Because shell metacharacters in the uploaded filename are not safely handled, an attacker with the ability to invoke the upload workflow can inject arbitrary shell syntax and cause unintended commands to execute in the context of the vulnerable application. The issue is classified as CWE-78 and has been assigned a CVSS v3.1 vector of AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H, indicating low attack complexity, no user interaction requirement, and high impact across confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
