CVE-2025-23006: Actively Exploited Vulnerability in SonicWall SMA1000 Appliances

On January 22, 2025, SonicWall published a security advisory detailing an actively exploited remote command execution vulnerability in SMA1000 appliances. The critical-severity vulnerability, CVE-2025-23006, is a pre-authentication deserialization of untrusted data vulnerability that has been identified in the SMA1000 Appliance Management Console (AMC) and Central Management Console (CMC). If exploited, it could allow unauthenticated remote threat actors to execute arbitrary OS commands.

Reviving DevSecOps: How Snyk's new framework builds trust and collaboration

It’s been over a decade since DevSecOps was introduced as a transformative approach to software development, but adoption remains uneven. Despite its promise of seamless integration between development, security, and operations, only 38% of organizations report fully automating the addition of new projects, branches, or repositories into their security testing queues.

Taking a Threat Adapted Approach to Vulnerability Management

As cyber threats continue to grow in complexity and frequency, vulnerability management requires more than just patching systems; it demands a dynamic, threat-adapted approach. As part of Cyber Rhino Threat Week (9-13th of December 2024) which aimed to inform, sharing threat intelligence insights and best practices with our customers, partners and industry ecosystem, we held a session that explored how integrating Threat Intelligence into Vulnerability Management can transform the way organisations prioritise and respond to risks.

Stop Demonizing CVSS: Fix the Real Problem

If you read the newest risk-based vulnerability management literature, it appears we have a new favorite punching bag: the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS). You seemingly can’t throw a rock into the “vuln-o-sphere” without hitting someone dunking on CVSS or the National Vulnerability Database (NVD). The argument goes something like this: “Exploitation rates are up, ransomware is surging, and vulnerabilities are multiplying like rabbits.

Understanding the EU's Cyber Resilience Act (CRA)

The Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) introduces a much-needed framework for standardizing the cybersecurity practices of companies operating in the European Union (EU). The regulation sets clear expectations for hardware and software manufacturers, developers, and distributors, outlining how they should manage and address vulnerabilities at every stage of the product lifecycle.

ConVErsations: Criminal Discussion of Vulnerabilities and Exploits

Defenders often discuss security vulnerabilities on GitHub, Stack overflow, X (formerly Twitter), and other platforms to share knowledge of these threats and ensure users know when patches are available. Cybercriminals have a similar process, choosing to share vulnerability news, exploit code, and engage in technical discussions on cybercriminal forums. However, in contrast to defenders, these threat actors share this knowledge for the purpose finding unpatched systems and exploiting them.

Detecting and mitigating CVE-2024-12084: rsync remote code execution

On Tuesday, January 14, 2025, a set of vulnerabilities were announced that affect the “rsync” utility. Rsync allows files and directories to be flexibly transferred locally and remotely. It is often used for deployments and backup purposes. In total, 6 vulnerabilities were announced to the OSS Security mailing list. The most severe vulnerability, CVE-2024-12084, may result in remote code execution. This post will cover how to detect and mitigate CVE-2024-12084.
