CVE-2026-0925: Improper Validation of Specified Quantity in Input in Tanium Discover
Tanium addressed an improper input validation vulnerability in Discover.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-0925 is an input validation vulnerability identified in Tanium Discover, a product used for endpoint discovery and asset management. The vulnerability arises from improper validation of a specified quantity parameter in the input, which can be manipulated by an attacker with network access and high privileges to cause a disruption in service availability. The flaw does not compromise confidentiality or integrity, as it does not allow data leakage or unauthorized modification. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 2.7, reflecting a low severity due to the limited impact and the requirement for high privileges to exploit. No user interaction is needed, but the attacker must have authenticated access to the network service. Tanium has addressed this issue in versions subsequent to 4.10.134 and 4.15.130, although no public exploit code or active exploitation has been reported. The vulnerability could potentially be leveraged to degrade the performance or availability of the Tanium Discover service, impacting endpoint visibility and asset management operations within affected environments.
Potential Impact
For European organizations, the primary impact of CVE-2026-0925 is a potential denial of service or service degradation affecting Tanium Discover’s ability to accurately discover and manage endpoints. This could hinder security monitoring, asset tracking, and incident response capabilities temporarily. While the vulnerability does not expose sensitive data or allow unauthorized changes, the loss of availability could disrupt operational workflows, especially in environments relying heavily on Tanium for endpoint management. Critical sectors such as finance, healthcare, and government agencies that depend on continuous asset visibility might face operational challenges. However, the low severity and requirement for high privileges reduce the likelihood of widespread impact. Organizations with robust network segmentation and strict access controls will be less vulnerable to exploitation.
Mitigation Recommendations
1. Apply the latest patches or updates from Tanium as soon as they become available to remediate the vulnerability. 2. Restrict network access to the Tanium Discover service to only trusted administrators and management systems using firewalls and network segmentation. 3. Enforce the principle of least privilege by limiting user and service account permissions to reduce the risk of high-privilege access exploitation. 4. Monitor Tanium Discover logs and network traffic for unusual input patterns or service disruptions that could indicate attempted exploitation. 5. Conduct regular vulnerability assessments and penetration testing focused on endpoint management tools to identify and remediate similar issues proactively. 6. Maintain an incident response plan that includes steps to quickly restore Tanium Discover service availability if disrupted.
