Bug Fixes

Bug Fix	Defect ID
For the Delinea Secret Server credential, users can now enter a URL in the Delinea Host field. Before you could only enter an IP or hostname.	01654432
Generic SSH Escalation field removed required and filed setup as per policy if required or not.	01646876
In some cases duplicate hosts in Universal repositories were counted toward the license for each repo they were in.	01640824, 01664333, 01666525, 01667889
Fixed a bug in file upload requests to scanners when Tenable Security Center and the scanner utilize certificate-based authentication. During the request generation, Tenable Security Centerwas inadvertently omitting the certificate, resulting in an erroneous outcome.	01631946
Update CSS only for specific drop-down element style to unset few global style, fixes the issue.	01627284
Update logic front-end won't display the error status until the dashboard has been fully evaluated.	01612838
The User::GET API response will now follow the objective of permissions as intended and matches with the GUI.	01623694
Improved the user deletion functionality to resolve the issue and implemented a restriction allowing users to only bulk delete up to 10 users at a time.	01624468
The "User Text" field in the Authentication Settings form was mislabelled as "Header Text", which could lead to confusion about where the value would be displayed. This field label has been corrected.	01617548
Updated the PHP file integrity check to exclude SAML configuration files.	01620889
For customer clarity, update caption for “Report” Alert action to now read: "Launch an existing On Demand Report"	01609808

Resolved a bug within the policy feature, which was causing incomplete returns of audits when utilizing the auditFiles field with the /rest/policy endpoint.	01617747
While exporting the Host Discovery Policy, if the field max_simult_tcp_sessions is empty in Policy settings, then it will retain empty value in the exported file [instead of previously defaulted to unlimited].	01615970
"CVE ID" option in "Filter By" filter in Plugins module now allows selection of four different operators: Equal To (=), Not Equal To (≠), Contains, and Does Not Contain.	01614878
A bug introduced in Tenable Security Center 6.0 caused scans to only send IP addresses as targets rather than IP and FQDN when scanning with DNS asset lists as targets.	01602558, 01647697, 01610272
Update logic, now on page load, set the default timeframe chosen by the consumer, then the static one.	01611113

This is as designed. The missing information has been incorporated into the User Guide.	01596286

Added a fix about calculating scrollLeft position of the grid container before refresh and set the left position after the grid is refreshed.	01589237

Tenable Vulnerability Management changed the behavior of what happens when invalid API keys are provided to the server status api. Now Tenable Vulnerability Management returns a 401 which is an authorization failure. Updated the code so that If an authorization failure is detected, it returns gracefully that the connection failed.	01602907
Updated the nightly cleanup function that cleans up stale Scan Reports to properly handle the case where the scanner does not exist.	01600461

Fixed an issue with the installSSLCertificate.php script that previously prevented users from utilizing multiple options simultaneously.	01600901
Fixed a bug with querying Mobile data using the Identifier filter with an Identifier that has a comma in it. There was no way to tell if the comma was part of the value or a separator. The solution is to support one value in the Identifier filter. This resolves the problem of no data showing up when drilling down from the Device Summary tool to the Vuln List tool.	01597703
Redesigned this component as an enhancement to Tenable Security Center 6.2.0.	01588770

Customer is now able to properly filter by SCAP Audit Files in cases where this was not working.	--
Fixed the logic to show only the login panel/startup banner at once. The login Panel will be hidden by the startup banner if available in all cases.	01571286, 01524466
Fixed an issue where STIG audit was failing because RPM verification was flagging tvdb.db as being modified.	01550156

Update logic by removing remote and offline repositories from the selected repository list.	01528355, 01625287
Fixed an issue in the feed update procedure that impacted customers with sizable organizations, numerous assets, dashboards, and reports. This was resolved by isolating the lengthy operation into its dedicated job.	01532323, 01643639
Customers were seeing system slowness due to a large number of queries defined. The customer in question was using the Tenable Security Center ticketing system and associating queries with tickets. So a large number of the queries were associated with tickets. Tickets are never deleted in Tenable Security Center and so neither are the associated queries. The solution is to delete any queries associated with a ticket when the status of the ticket is changed to "closed". In addition, to cleanup existing data, a migration script was created to delete all queries associated with tickets where the ticket status is "closed".	01446976, 01473727
Fixed a bug in the Picture in Picture feature, where users on slower connections would occasionally encounter an error message regarding invalid credentials.	01369184

Upgrade Notes

If you are running Tenable Security Center 5.12.0 or later, you can upgrade directly to Tenable Security Center 6.0.0. If you are running a version earlier than Tenable Security Center 5.12.0, upgrade to Tenable Security Center 5.12.0 before upgrading to Tenable Security Center 6.0.0.

If you are running Tenable Security Center 6.0.0 and you are using pyTenable with the Tenable Security Center API, you must upgrade pyTenable to version 1.4.2 or later.

If you upgrade Tenable Security Center Director, upgrade Tenable Security Center for all managed Tenable Security Center instances connected to Tenable Security Center Director. After upgrading, allow up to 15 minutes for your managed Tenable Security Center instances to sync with Tenable Security Center Director.

Tenable recommends performing a backup before upgrading Tenable Security Center. For more information, see Perform a Backup in the Tenable Security Center User Guide.

This release includes an upgrade to OpenSSL 3.0.x. This resolves two issues found in the open source libraries, CVE-2021-3450 and CVE-2021-3449. Both issues were rated High. As a result, X.509 certificates signed using SHA1 are no longer allowed at security level 1 or higher. The default security level for TLS is 1, so certificates signed using SHA1 are by default no longer trusted to authenticate servers or clients. Customers who encounter this issue should upgrade their certificates. For more information, see the OpenSSL 3.0 release notes.

Note: This release includes a fix for a potential vulnerability. For more information, see the Tenable Product Security Advisory.

Note: If your upgrade path skips versions of Tenable Security Center (for example, upgrading from 5.9.0 to 5.12.0 to 6.0.0), Tenable recommends reviewing the release notes for all skipped versions. You may need to update your configurations because of features and functionality added in skipped versions.

Note: Tenable Security Center 5.21.0 is the last version of Tenable Security Center that supports Internet Explorer. For more information about other supported browsers, see Web Browser Requirements in the Tenable Security Center User Guide.
