CVE-2024-7594 is a severe unrestricted authentication issue affecting HashiCorp’s Vault’s SSH secrets engine, specifically Vault Community Edition versions 1.7.7-1.17.5 and Vault Enterprise versions 1.7.7-1.17.5, as well as 1.16.9 and 1.15.14. HashiCorp has released patches for CVE-2024-7594 and organizations can mitigate vulnerable instances by setting the SSH secrets engine valid_principals field to a non-empty value. CyCognito is investigating methods to deploy to actively detect this vulnerability, but more information about this issue is available to users in the CyCognito platform.
CVE-2024-28987 is a critical (CVSS v3 score: 9.1) hardcoded credential vulnerability in SolarWinds Web Help Desk (WHD) software. Organizations can patch this vulnerability by upgrading to version 12.8.3 HF2. CyCognito discovery and testing engines actively detect CVE-2024-28987 and customers have access to an in-platform emerging security issue announcement as of September 29th, 2024.
Many organizations believe their security testing is robust, but common tools like vulnerability scanning and penetration testing often leave surprising gaps. Infrequent tests, limited asset coverage and inaccurate results leave exposure and risk. Achieving ideal security goals requires full coverage, high accuracy, and frequent testing—criteria most approaches struggle to deliver. CyCognito bridges these gaps with automated testing for network systems and web applications, helping organizations strengthen their security, continuously.
CVE-2024-6670 is an actively exploited critical (CVSS v3 score: 9.8) SQL injection vulnerability affecting Progress Software’s WhatsUp Gold network monitoring tool. CyCognito discovery and testing engines actively detect vulnerable versions of Progress Software WhatsUp Gold and all customers have access to an in-platform emerging security issue announcement as of September 27th, 2024.
CyCognito just published our 2024 State of External Exposure Management Report. In this report, we looked at where serious issues hide on the average attack surface, how basic protections can help (or fail to) protect critical assets, and the ways that deprioritizing issues can help security teams spend their time on the right vulnerabilities.
Gaps in security testing involve more than missed assets – infrequent and inaccurate security testing can be just as big. This blog provides a five-step plan to help you find testing gaps and tighten your testing program, improving risk management, decision-making, and cost efficiency. A must-read for anyone looking to strengthen their security across their external attack surface.
CVE-2024-40766 is a critical (CVSS v3 score: 9.3) access control flaw affecting SonicWall firewall devices that attackers are actively exploiting to deliver ransomware. CyCognito discovery and testing engines detect all assets running SonicWall SonicOS products and leverage multiple tests to services of the vulnerable product and versions. All customers have access to an in-platform emerging security issue announcement as of September 10th, 2024.
CyCognito’s new certified integration with ServiceNow’s Configuration Management Database (CMDB) enhances asset visibility and streamlines management to bolster cybersecurity defenses. By synchronizing CyCognito assets with ServiceNow Configuration Items (CIs), the integration ensures that the CMDB remains current, enabling quicker assessment and response to potential threats. This integration is particularly valuable for organizations aiming to standardize asset management and security operations on the ServiceNow platform.
I recently sat down with Daniel Schlegel, the Global Chief Information Officer (CIO), Chief Security Officer, and Chief Privacy Officer of Berlitz Corporation, a global leader in language training and cultural education, to hear about their transformative experience using CyCognito to gain global external attack surface visibility, reduce costs, and enhance their security posture.
