Latest Security Advisories (US-CERT)Cisco Releases Security Updates for Multiple Products (2024.03.28) Cisco released security updates to address vulnerabilities in Cisco IOS, IOS XE, and AP software. A cyber threat actor could exploit some of these vulnerabilities to cause a denial-of-service. CISA encourages users and administrators to review the following advisories and apply the necessary updates:
Apple Released Security Updates for Safari and macOS (2024.03.27) Apple releasedsecurity updates to address a vulnerability (CVE-2024-1580) in Safari and macOS. A cyber threat actor could exploit this vulnerability to take control of an affected system. CISA encourages users and administrators to review the following advisories and apply the necessary updates: CISA Releases Four Industrial Control Systems Advisories (2024.03.26) CISA released four Industrial Control Systems (ICS) advisories on March 26, 2024. These advisories provide timely information about current security issues, vulnerabilities, and exploits surrounding ICS.
CISA encourages users and administrators to review the newly released ICS advisories for technical details and mitigations. CISA Adds One Known Exploited Vulnerability to Catalog (2024.03.26) CISA has added one new vulnerability to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, based on evidence of active exploitation.
These types of vulnerabilities are frequent attack vectors for malicious cyber actors and pose significant risks to the federal enterprise. Binding Operational Directive (BOD) 22-01: Reducing the Significant Risk of Known Exploited Vulnerabilities established the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog as a living list of known Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) that carry significant risk to the federal enterprise. BOD 22-01 requires Federal Civilian Executive Branch (FCEB) agencies to remediate identified vulnerabilities by the due date to protect FCEB networks against active threats. See the BOD 22-01 Fact Sheet for more information. Although BOD 22-01 only applies to FCEB agencies, CISA strongly urges all organizations to reduce their exposure to cyberattacks by prioritizing timely remediation of Catalog vulnerabilities as part of their vulnerability management practice. CISA will continue to add vulnerabilities to the catalog that meet the specified criteria. CISA Adds Three Known Exploited Vulnerabilities to Catalog (2024.03.25) CISA has added three new vulnerabilities to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, based on evidence of active exploitation.
These types of vulnerabilities are frequent attack vectors for malicious cyber actors and pose significant risks to the federal enterprise.

CISA and FBI Release Secure by Design Alert to Urge Manufacturers to Eliminate SQL Injection Vulnerabilities (2024.03.25) Today, CISA and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) released a joint Secure by Design Alert, Eliminating SQL Injection Vulnerabilities in Software. This Alert was crafted in response to a recent, well-publicized exploitation of SQL injection (SQLi) defects in a managed file transfer application that impacted thousands of organizations. Additionally, the Alert highlights the prevalence of this class of vulnerability. Despite widespread knowledge and documentation of SQLi vulnerabilities over the past two decades, along with the availability of effective mitigations, software manufacturers continue to develop products with this defect, which puts many customers at risk. CISA and the FBI urge senior executives at technology manufacturing companies to mount a formal review of their code to determine its susceptibility to SQLi compromises. If found vulnerable, senior executives should ensure their organizations software developers begin immediate implementation of mitigations to eliminate this entire class of defect from all current and future software products. For more information on recommended principles and best practices to achieve this goal, visit CISAs Secure by Design page.
