The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency has released a list of 25 vulnerabilities Chinese state-sponsored hackers have been recently scanning for or have exploited in attacks.
"Most of the vulnerabilities [] can be exploited to gain initial access to victim networks using products that are directly accessible from the Internet and act as gateways to internal networks. The majority of the products are either for remote access or for external web services, and should be prioritized for immediate patching," the agency noted.
The list of vulnerabilities exploited by Chinese hackers.
The vulnerability list they shared is likely not complete, as Chinese-sponsored actors may use other known and unknown vulnerabilities.
Earlier this year, CISA released a list of old and new software vulnerabilities that are routinely exploited by foreign cyber actors and cyber criminals, the NSA and the Australian Signals Directorate released a list of web application vulnerabilities that are commonly exploited to install web shell malware, and Recorded Future published a list of ten software vulnerabilities most exploited by cybercriminals in 2019.
