Over 4,000 Sophos Firewall devices exposed to Internet access are vulnerable to attacks targeting a critical remote code execution vulnerability. Sophos disclosed this code injection flaw found in the User Portal and Webadmin of Sophos Firewall in September and also released hotfixes for multiple Sophos Firewall versions.

On Friday, security researchers with Horizon3's Attack Team warned admins that they created a proof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2022-47966. "The vulnerability is easy to exploit and a good candidate for attackers to 'spray and pray' across the Internet. This vulnerability allows for remote code execution as NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM, essentially giving an attacker complete control over the system," Horizon3 vulnerability researcher James Horseman said.

State-sponsored attackers actively exploiting RCE in Citrix devices, patch ASAP!An unauthenticated remote code execution flaw is being leveraged by a Chinese state-sponsored group to compromise Citrix Application Delivery Controller deployments, the US National Security Agency has warned. Microsoft fixes exploited zero-day, revokes certificate used to sign malicious driversIt's December 2022 Patch Tuesday, and Microsoft has delivered fixes for 50+ vulnerabilities, including a Windows SmartScreen bypass flaw exploited by attackers to deliver a variety of malware.

Another month, another Microsoft Patch Tuesday, another 48 patches, another two zero-days. An astonishing tale about a bunch of rogue actors who tricked Microsoft itself into giving their malicious code an official digital seal of approval.

An unauthenticated remote code execution flaw is being leveraged by a Chinese state-sponsored group to compromise Citrix Application Delivery Controller deployments, the US National Security Agency has warned. "Targeting Citrix ADCs can facilitate illegitimate access to targeted organizations by bypassing normal authentication controls."
