Microsoft said on Tuesday that a recently patched SolarWinds Serv-U zero-day vulnerability has been exploited by a Chinese threat group. IT management solutions provider SolarWinds over the weekend informed customers that its Serv-U Managed File Transfer and Serv-U Secure FTP products are affected by a remote code execution vulnerability that has been exploited in targeted attacks.
Microsoft has attributed a new attack on SolarWinds to a group operating in China. The software giant on Tuesday posted details of the attack, which SolarWinds on Monday patched and revealed as a Return Oriented Programming attack that targets its Serv-U managed file transfer product and allows an attacker to run arbitrary code with privileges, install programs and alter data on cracked targets.
China-based hackers known to target US defense and software companies are now targeting organizations using a vulnerability in the SolarWinds Serv-U FTP server. Today, SolarWinds released a security update for a zero-day vulnerability in Serv-U FTP servers that allow remote code execution when SSH is enabled.

The Texas-based company that became the epicenter of a massive supply chain attack late last year, has issued patches to contain a remote code execution flaw in its Serv-U managed file transfer service. The fixes, which target Serv-U Managed File Transfer and Serv-U Secure FTP products, arrive after Microsoft notified the IT management and remote monitoring software maker that the flaw was being exploited in the wild.
SolarWinds has issued a hotfix for a zero-day remote code execution vulnerability already under active, yet limited, attack on some of the company's customers. Though the current threat appears to be from a sole actor and "Involves a limited, targeted set of customers," SolarWinds wanted to remedy the situation before it could escalate, the company said.
SolarWinds has released an emergency patch for CVE-2021-35211, a RCE vulnerability affecting its Serv-U Managed File Transfer and Serv-U Secure FTP that is currently being exploited in the wild. "Microsoft has provided evidence of limited, targeted customer impact, though SolarWinds does not currently have an estimate of how many customers may be directly affected by the vulnerability. SolarWinds is unaware of the identity of the potentially affected customers," the company shared.
SolarWinds has issued an emergency patch after a critical security hole in its Serv-U Managed File Transfer and Serv-U Secure FTP was spotted being exploited in the wild. The vulnerability, discovered by Microsoft's Threat Intelligence Center and Offensive Security Research teams, can be exploited by an attacker to achieve remote code execution, and is present in Serv-U version 15.2.3 HF1 and all prior builds.
Security responders at SolarWinds are scrambling to contain a new zero-day vulnerability being actively exploited in what is being described as "Limited, targeted attacks." In an advisory issued over the weekend, SolarWinds said a single threat actor exploited security flaws in its Serv-U Managed File Transfer and Serv-U Secure FTP products against "a limited, targeted set of customers."
