Horizon Alert
Summary of the vulnerability and why it matters
Array Networks SSL VPN gateways are affected by a vulnerability that allows unauthorized access to system files and the execution of malicious code. This could enable attackers to compromise the gateway's integrity and potentially impact network security. The flaw is present in Array AG Series and vxAG devices.
- Vulnerable SSL VPN gateways
- Flaw allows unauthorized code execution
- Business risk to system integrity
Attack Path
How an attacker could exploit the issue
An unauthenticated attacker can exploit a vulnerability in the SSL VPN gateway to gain unauthorized access. This is achieved by browsing the system's filesystem via a specially crafted HTTP header. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to execute code on the gateway, potentially leading to a compromise of the protected network.
- Publicly accessible SSL VPN gateway.
- Attacker sends malicious HTTP header.
- Attacker gains code execution.
Live Threat
Current exploitation, exposure, and threat context
This vulnerability allows remote code execution on SSL VPN gateways. Attackers can exploit a flaw in the product by browsing the filesystem without authentication. The potential for unauthorized access to sensitive data and system compromise presents a significant business risk.
- Low attacker skill level.
- Unauthenticated network access required.
- High business risk and urgency.
Priority actions
Operational Fix
Recommended remediation, mitigation, and detection steps
This vulnerability in Array Networks SSL VPN gateways could allow unauthenticated remote attackers to execute code. The flaw permits browsing of the filesystem via a crafted HTTP header, potentially leading to unauthorized system access. This poses a significant business risk, impacting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data and systems.
- Identify exposed SSL VPN gateways.
- Restrict network access to these systems.
- Apply vendor updates and confirm their effectiveness.
