CISA and Partners join ASD’S ACSC to Release Advisory on PRC State-Sponsored Group, APT 40
Jul 8, 2024
CISA has collaborated with the Australian Signals Directorate’s Australian Cyber Security Centre (ASD's ACSC) to release an advisory, People’s Republic of China (PRC) Ministry of State Security APT40 Tradecraft in Action outlining a PRC state-sponsored cyber group’s activity. The following organizations also collaborated with ASD's ACSC on the guidance: The National Security Agency (NSA); The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI); The United Kingdom’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC-UK); The Canadian Centre for Cyber Security (CCCS); The New Zealand National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC-NZ); The German Federal Intelligence Service (BND) and Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV); The Republic of Korea’s National Intelligence Service (NIS) and NIS’ National Cyber Security Center (NCSC); and Japan’s National Center of Incident Readiness and Strategy for Cybersecurity (NISC) and National Policy Agency (NPA). The advisory is based on current ACSC-led incident response investigations and shared understanding of a PRC state-sponsored cyber group, APT40—also known as Kryptonite Panda, GINGHAM TYPHOON, Leviathan and Bronze Mohawk in industry reporting. APT 40 has previously targeted organizations in various countries, including Australia and the United States. Notably, APT 40 possesses the ability to quickly transform and adapt vulnerability proofs of concept (POCs) for targeting, reconnaissance, and exploitation operations. APT 40 identifies new exploits within widely used public software such as Log4J, Atlassian Confluence and Microsoft Exchange to target the infrastructure of the associated vulnerability. CISA urges all organizations and software manufacturers to review the advisory to help identify, prevent, and remediate APT 40 intrusions. Software vendors are also urged to incorporate Secure by Design principles into their practices to limit the impact of threat actor techniques and to strengthen the security posture of their products for their customers. For more information on PRC state-sponsored threat actor activity, see CISA’s People's Republic of China Cyber Threat.

CISA Adds One Known Exploited Vulnerability to Catalog
Jul 2, 2024
CISA has added one new vulnerability to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, based on evidence of active exploitation. CVE-2024-20399 Cisco NX-OS Command Injection 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 and Partners Release Guidance for Exploring Memory Safety in Critical Open Source Projects
Jun 26, 2024
Today, CISA, in partnership with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Australian Signals Directorate’s Australian Cyber Security Centre, and Canadian Cyber Security Center, released Exploring Memory Safety in Critical Open Source Projects. This guidance was crafted to provide organizations with findings on the scale of memory safety risk in selected open source software (OSS). This joint guidance builds on the guide The Case for Memory Safe Roadmaps by providing a starting point for software manufacturers to create memory safe roadmaps, including plans to address memory safety in external dependencies which commonly include OSS. Exploring Memory Safety in Critical Open Source Projects also aligns with the 2023 National Cybersecurity Strategy and corresponding implementation plan, which discusses investing in memory safety and collaborating with the open source community—including the establishment of the interagency Open Source Software Security Initiative (OS3I) and investment in memory-safe programming languages. CISA encourages all organizations and software manufacturers to review the methodology and results found in the guidance to: Reduce memory safety vulnerabilities; Make secure and informed choices; Understand the memory-unsafety risk in OSS; Evaluate approaches to reducing this risk; and Continue efforts to drive risk-reducing action by software manufacturers. To learn more about taking a top-down approach to developing secure products, visit CISA’s Secure by Design webpage.
