As we look ahead to 2022, we should pause to reflect on the trends of the past year. Ransomware and supply chain attacks have become two of the top concerns for organizations following a series of high-profile attacks, such as those conducted against Colonial Pipeline, SolarWinds and Kaseya. In 2021, our Project Memoria revealed close to 100 different vulnerabilities in common TCP/IP stacks, affecting hundreds of operational technology (OT) vendors.
On November 10, 2021, Palo Alto Networks released advisories for eight different vulnerabilities affecting the company’s VPN firewall products. The vulnerabilities’ criticality ranges from ‘medium’ to ‘critical,’ with the most severe vulnerability, CVE-2021-3064 (CVSSv3.1 of 9.8), allowing for unauthenticated remote code execution, or RCE.
