The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the FBI have issued an urgent advisory urging organizations to immediately address OS command injection vulnerabilities in network devices, which could allow attackers to execute arbitrary commands remotely. These vulnerabilities, recently found in devices like Zyxel firewalls, pose significant risks as they can be exploited without authentication, leading to potential system compromises. CISA’s Binding Operational Directive 23-02 mandates federal agencies to secure their network management interfaces and implement zero trust principles to mitigate these threats, advising all organizations to follow suit for enhanced security.
