Three steps, in this order
Patch to the fixed version the vendor names, today if the product faces the internet.
Until it is patched, take the affected service off the internet or put it behind a VPN or allow-list.
Look for signs it was already used: new accounts, web shells, unexpected processes and outbound connections since the date it was listed.
| CISA's required action | Apply mitigations in accordance with vendor instructions, ensuring compliance with CISA’s BOD 26-04 Prioritizing Security Updates Based on Risk (see URL in Notes) guidance and CISA’s “Forensics Triage Requirements” (see URL in Notes). Follow applicable BOD 26-04 guidance for cloud services or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable. Stakeholders are responsible for evaluating each asset's internet exposure and ensuring adherence to BOD 26-04 patching guidelines. |
