The U.S. National Security Agency this week released an advisory containing information on 25 vulnerabilities that are being actively exploited or targeted by Chinese state-sponsored threat actors.

The NSA notes that it has observed Chinese threat actors scanning for or attempting to exploit these vulnerabilities against multiple victims.

While the vulnerabilities mentioned by the NSA have been detailed publicly, not all of them were previously known as being targeted by hackers.

The agency notes that National Security Systems, U.S. Defense Industrial Base, and Department of Defense systems are constantly being targeted by Chinese hackers, and encourages owners to ensure their systems are protected from exploitation.

"We hear loud and clear that it can be hard to prioritize patching and mitigation efforts. We hope that by highlighting the vulnerabilities that China is actively using to compromise systems, cyber-security professionals will gain actionable information to prioritize efforts and secure their systems," NSA Cybersecurity Director Anne Neuberger said.
