CVE-2024-7594 is a severe unrestricted authentication issue affecting HashiCorp’s Vault’s SSH secrets engine. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has not yet evaluated this vulnerability’s CVSS score but HashiCorp assigned it a base score of 7.5 (high). An outside security researcher, Jörn Heissler, discovered an issue with the valid_principals field in Vault’s SSH secrets engine.

When it comes to security, organizations often consider themselves well-covered. But in today’s landscape, where cybersecurity threats evolve at breakneck speed, even the most well-prepared teams cannot afford to have testing gaps. The reality is that if your primary strategy for removing security testing gaps is tightening scanning policies or expanding penetration test scope, you are trying to patch a dam with bubble gum. Is your attack surface covered?

We 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 your security testing program are likely more than simply missed assets. Infrequent testing and even low test accuracy are also gaps, and can be just as bad or worse. Gaps happen despite the best efforts of everyone involved. The good news is that, with some strategic adjustments, you can reduce gaps using tools you likely already have deployed.

CVE-2024-40766 is a critical (CVSS v3 score: 9.3) access control flaw. Its primary danger comes from the potential for providing unauthorized network access, both allowing attackers unfettered access to critical resources and, in some cases, giving attackers the ability to crash the firewall.

Your attack surface has grown, it's now in cloud infrastructure and across subsidiaries and unknown, unmanaged assets are everywhere. How are you finding these? Attackers look for, find and attack these unknown assets and when there are externally exposed risks, sensitive data and critical systems are put in danger. Read now, External Exposure & Attack Surface Management For Dummies.

With the ever-growing volume of cybersecurity alerts and attacks bombarding security teams, more CISOs are taking a hard look at External Attack Surface Management (EASM) platforms to better understand how adversaries get into systems and how to keep them out. It's not surprising that EASM products have captured the industry's attention, as many organizations are seeing growth of their attack surfaces' growth outpace their detection and remediation abilities. Some of the driving causes: digital transformation, the cloud, third-party dependencies, subsidiary sprawl, and more.

Your pen testing team is working hard, but they are facing an operational challenge due to the large number of assets they need to test and the time required to complete each test. As the fundamental approach to penetration testing has not changed much since the first test over 50 years ago, it's worth exploring whether the tool is still sufficient for securing today's IT environment.

CyCognito solves one of the most fundamental business problems in cybersecurity: seeing how attackers view your organization, where they are most likely to break in, what systems and assets are at risk and how you can eliminate the exposure.
Founded by national intelligence agency veterans, CyCognito has a deep understanding of how attackers exploit blind spots and a path of least resistance. Based in Palo Alto, CyCognito serves a number of large enterprises and Fortune 500 organizations, including Colgate-Palmolive, Tesco and many others.
Automated external attack surface management and continuous testing reduces your overall risk:
- Discovery: Proactively uncover exposed external assets — without input or configuration — using attacker reconnaissance approaches.
- Contextualization: Empower your team to know what an asset does, where it’s located, what other assets it connects to, and how attractive it is from that attacker perspective.
- Active Security Testing: Launch security testing across your full inventory of external assets, enabling a new level of visibility into risk and the steps needed to reduce it.
- Prioritization: Automate risk prioritization for external assets to focus your security team’s attention and energy on the 10 to 50 most critical exploited assets that matter the most.
- Remediation Acceleration: Quickly repair exploitable assets and reduce validation time from months to hours to swiftly prevent data breaches.
Discover, test and prioritize all of your web assets and applications.
