Seriously? More Vulnerabilities.
Right, so listen up, you lot. CISA – those clowns over at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency – have added two more holes in N-able’s N-central platform to their “Known Exploited Vulnerabilities” catalog. Fantastic. Just what we needed.
Basically, CVE-2023-46815 and CVE-2023-48078 are the problems. The first one lets an unauthenticated attacker basically read sensitive system files – think passwords, configurations, the whole shebang. The second? Allows remote code execution. Remote Code Execution. Meaning some script kiddie can waltz in and own your systems. Shocking.
N-able claims they patched these back in December and January, respectively. But you know how it goes: half the world is still running ancient software because “it works,” so CISA’s gotta step in and yell about it. They’re giving federal agencies a deadline – September 26th, 2024 – to get their act together and patch this shit. Private sector? Figure it out yourselves, I guess.
Honestly, if you’re still running vulnerable software in this day and age, you deserve whatever happens. Don’t come crying to me when your data gets ransomed.
Speaking of patching… I once had a sysadmin tell me he didn’t need to patch a server because “it hasn’t been hacked yet.” I swear, some people. It was running Windows XP. Windows XP. Needed to be replaced, not ignored. The level of incompetence is astounding.
