US, Norway say hackers have been exploiting Ivanti zero-day since April
Hackers exploiting a zero-day flaw in Ivanti's mobile endpoint management software to breach government agencies.
Key points:
- Hackers exploited a zero-day flaw in Ivanti's mobile endpoint management software for at least three months.
- Multiple Norwegian government agencies were compromised by the hackers.
- The flaw allows unauthenticated access to users' personal information and the ability to make changes to the vulnerable server.
- Hackers used compromised routers as proxies to conceal the source of their attacks.
- A second vulnerability was also exploited, reducing the complexity of executing attacks.
- Ivanti released patches for both vulnerabilities.
- CISA and NCSC-NO urged agencies to search their systems for potential compromise and report any issues.
- Previous MobileIron vulnerabilities have been exploited by government-backed actors, potentially linked to Chinese state-sponsored hackers.
- Ivanti has not yet responded to inquiries.
- There are still over 2,200 exposed MobileIron portals, mostly in the United States.
