A debate over actual exploitation is muddying response efforts. Multiple researchers say they’ve observed working proof of concepts while others assert evidence of attacks is lacking.

The open-source code library is one of the most extensively used application frameworks. Wiz found vulnerable versions in around 39% of cloud environments.

Researchers say the nation-state attacker could cause more serious problems with the BIG-IP source code it nabbed during the attack on F5’s systems.

Forta, the vendor behind the file-transfer service software, has yet to report exploitation or address evidence of compromise. Independent researchers say otherwise.

The vendor didn’t provide evidence of active exploitation, yet experts said it’s only a matter of time before that changes.

The actively exploited defect, triggered by an attacker’s use of a publicly available sample machine key, underscores the vendor and customers’ poor configuration practices.

The vulnerability threat intelligence firm’s research reinforces a slew of recent reports warning about increased exploits in 2024.

Exploited vulnerabilities have turned up in Ivanti products 16 times since 2024. That’s more than any other vendor in the network edge device space.
