CISA Adds One Known Exploited Vulnerability to Catalog
Apr 1, 2025
CISA has added one new vulnerability to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, based on evidence of active exploitation. CVE-2025-24813 Apache Tomcat Path Equivalence Vulnerability 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 Releases Malware Analysis Report on RESURGE Malware Associated with Ivanti Connect Secure
Mar 28, 2025
CISA has published a Malware Analysis Report (MAR) with analysis and associated detection signatures on a new malware variant CISA has identified as RESURGE. RESURGE contains capabilities of the SPAWNCHIMERA[1] malware variant, including surviving reboots; however, RESURGE contains distinctive commands that alter its behavior. These commands: Create a web shell, manipulate integrity checks, and modify files. Enable the use of web shells for credential harvesting, account creation, password resets, and escalating permissions. Copy the web shell to the Ivanti running boot disk and manipulate the running coreboot image. RESURGE is associated with the exploitation of CVE-2025-0282 in Ivanti Connect Secure appliances. CVE-2025-0282 is a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in Ivanti Connect Secure, Policy Secure, and ZTA Gateways. CISA added CVE-2025-0282 to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog on January 8, 2025. For more information on the abovementioned malware variants and YARA rules for detection, see: MAR-25993211.R1.V1.CLEAR. For a downloadable copy of the SIGMA rule associated with this MAR, see: AR25-087A SIGMA YAML. CISA urges users and administrators to implement the following actions in addition to the Mitigation Instructions for CVE-2025-0282: For the highest level of confidence, conduct a factory reset. For Cloud and Virtual systems, conduct a factory reset using an external known clean image of the device. See Ivanti’s Recommended Recovery Steps for more information, including how to conduct a factory reset. Reset credentials of privileged and non-privileged accounts. Reset passwords for all domain users and all local accounts, such as Guest, HelpAssistant, DefaultAccount, System, Administrator, and krbtgt. The krbtgt account is responsible for handling Kerberos ticket requests as well as encrypting and signing them. The krbtgt account should be reset twice because the account has a two-password history. The first account reset for the krbtgt needs to be allowed to replicate prior to the second reset to avoid any issues. See CISA’s Eviction Guidance for Networks Affected by the SolarWinds and Active Directory/M365 Compromise for more information. Although tailored to Federal Civilian Executive Branch (FCEB) agencies compromised in the 2020 SolarWinds Orion supply chain compromise, the steps are applicable to organizations with Windows AD compromise. Review access policies to temporarily revoke privileges/access for affected devices. If it is necessary to not alert the attacker (e.g., for intelligence purposes), then privileges can be reduced for affected accounts/devices to “contain” them. Reset the relevant account credentials or access keys if the investigation finds the threat actor’s access is limited to non-elevated permissions. Monitor related accounts, especially administrative accounts, for any further signs of unauthorized access. Organizations should report incidents and anomalous activity related to information found in the malware analysis report to CISA’s 24/7 Operations Center at Report@cisa.gov or (888) 282-0870. Malware submissions can be made directly to Malware Nextgen at https://malware.cisa.gov. See the following resources for more guidance: Ivanti: Security Advisory Ivanti Connect Secure, Policy Secure & ZTA Gateways (CVE-2025-0282, CVE-2025-0283)

CISA and Partners Release Cybersecurity Advisory on Medusa Ransomware
Mar 12, 2025
Today, CISA—in partnership with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center (MS-ISAC)—released joint Cybersecurity Advisory, #StopRansomware: Medusa Ransomware. This advisory provides tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), indicators of compromise (IOCs), and detection methods associated with known Medusa ransomware activity. Medusa is a ransomware-as-a-service variant used to conduct ransomware attacks; as of December 2024, over 300 victims from critical infrastructure sectors have been impacted. Medusa actors use common techniques like phishing campaigns and exploiting unpatched software vulnerabilities. Immediate actions organizations can take to mitigate Medusa ransomware activity: Ensure operating systems, software, and firmware are patched and up to date. Segment networks to restrict lateral movement. Filter network traffic by preventing unknown or untrusted origins from accessing remote services. CISA encourages network defenders to review the advisory and implement the recommended mitigations to reduce the likelihood and impact of Medusa ransomware incidents. See #StopRansomware and the #StopRansomware Guide for additional guidance on ransomware protection, detection, and response.
