"A few thousand devices are impacted," SonicWall said in a statement, adding, "SMA 100 firmware prior to 10.x is unaffected by this zero-day vulnerability." On January 22, The Hacker News exclusively revealed that SonicWall had been breached as a consequence of a coordinated attack on its internal systems by exploiting "Probable zero-day vulnerabilities" in its SMA 100 series remote access devices.

SonicWall has released a patch for the zero-day vulnerability used in attacks against the SMA 100 series of remote access appliances. On January 22nd, SonicWall disclosed that their internal systems were attacked using a zero-day vulnerability in the SMA 100 series of SonicWall networking devices.

SonicWall has confirmed that the actively exploited zero-day vulnerability spotted by the NCC Group on Sunday affects its Secure Mobile Access 100 series appliances. On Friday, they shared that they received and analyzed several reports from their customers of potentially compromised SMA 100 series devices, but that they have only observed the use of previously stolen credentials to log into the SMA devices.

SonicWall on Monday confirmed that its Secure Mobile Access 100 series appliances are affected by a zero-day vulnerability that has apparently already been exploited in attacks. SonicWall told SecurityWeek that a few thousand devices are exposed to attacks due to the zero-day vulnerability.

A SonicWall SMA 100 zero-day vulnerability is being actively exploited in the wild, according to a tweet by cybersecurity firm NCC Group. While SonicWall investigates the vulnerability and has not provided many details, they state that it likely affects their SMA 100 series line of remote access appliances.

UPDATE. SonicWall said a zero-day in its SMA 100 series 10.x code was targeted by "Highly-sophisticated" attackers. "On Sunday, January 31, 2021, the NCC Group alerted the SonicWall Product Security Incident Response Team about a potential zero-day vulnerability in the SMA 100 series. Our engineering team confirmed their submission as a critical zero-day in the SMA 100 series 10.x code," said SonicWall in an updated statement.

On Friday evening, SonicWall announced that it "Identified a coordinated attack on its internal systems by highly sophisticated threat actors exploiting probable zero-day vulnerabilities on certain SonicWall secure remote access products." "We believe it is extremely important to be transparent with our customers, our partners and the broader cybersecurity community about the ongoing attacks on global business and government," SonicWall said while warning the public about the potential zero-day vulnerabilities in the NetExtender VPN Client and Secure Mobile Access physical and virtual appliances.

The San Jose-based company said the attacks leveraged zero-day vulnerabilities in SonicWall secure remote access products such as NetExtender VPN client version 10.x and Secure Mobile Access that are used to provide users with remote access to internal resources. "Recently, SonicWall identified a coordinated attack on its internal systems by highly sophisticated threat actors exploiting probable zero-day vulnerabilities on certain SonicWall secure remote access products," the company exclusively told The Hacker News.

SonicWall is a well-known manufacturer of hardware firewall devices, VPN gateways, and network security solutions whose products are commonly used in SMB/SME and large enterprise organizations. On Friday night, SonicWall released an 'urgent advisory' stating that hackers used a zero-day vulnerability in their Secure Mobile Access VPN device and its NetExtender VPN client in a "Sophisticated" attack on their internal systems.
