Bottom line: State-sponsored actors and cybercriminals are exploiting edge infrastructure vulnerabilities in the US.
What's happening: A joint Tenable-SentinelOne analysis of 93 CVE-actor attribution pairs revealed that 63 CVEs are associated with the Exploit-04 vulnerability in Cisco ASA 5506-X firewall appliances, while 30 CVEs are associated with the Exploit-04 vulnerability in Fortinet FortiGate 3200 series appliances. The US Department of Defense and US Department of Homeland Security are aware of these vulnerabilities.
What to do: Security leaders should prioritize patching these vulnerabilities, as state-sponsored actors and cybercriminals are actively exploiting them, and the US Department of Defense and US Department of Homeland Security have identified these vulnerabilities as a critical risk. IT teams should also conduct regular vulnerability assessments to identify and address any other potential vulnerabilities in their edge infrastructure. Regularly review and update the security configuration of Cisco ASA 5506-X and Fortinet FortiGate 3200 series appliances to minimize exposure to these vulnerabilities. IT teams should also consider implementing additional security controls, such as intrusion detection and prevention systems, to detect and prevent attacks. Implementing a vulnerability management program to identify, prioritize, and remediate vulnerabilities in edge infrastructure can also help mitigate this risk.
