You all know by now about the #log4j CVE-2021-44228 that affects lots of Java applications, right? No? Well that extra sleep must be nice! We've published a vulnerability note with details: kb.cert.org/vuls/id/930724 We link to PowerShell and Python3 scanners to find jar files too.

We have been communicating our findings to and collaborating with Pulse Secure. They have published more details about the Integrity Checker Tool (ICT) here: kb.pulsesecure.net/articles/Pulse…

Since the Pulse Connect Secure ICT has been public since March, it would be wise to assume that attackers have worked around it by now. Yes, run the ICT if you haven't already by now. No, a clean ICT report doesn't necessarily mean you're fine.

It is important to realize that the Pulse Secure Integrity Checker Tool (ICT) and the PCS factory reset functionality can both be subverted by an attacker on a compromised PCS device. If we can do this, assume that attackers can do this as well. 🤔

If you have a Pulse Connect Secure system and did not immediately apply the instantaneous XML workaround published on April 20, assume compromise until you can prove otherwise. Run the PCS Integrity Assurance package as soon as possible (requires reboot). kb.pulsesecure.net/articles/Pulse…

@todb Indeed. But guess what happens to a narrowly-targeted attack that suddenly has a patch available?

It's important to note that these updates are NOT currently being deployed via Windows Update or Microsoft Update. Despite being actively exploited in the wild, manual actions must be taken to receive the fixes.
