AI-suggested
1. Monitor Microsoft’s official channels for patches addressing CVE-2023-36773 and apply them promptly once released. 2. Until patches are available, restrict or disable the use of Microsoft 3D Builder on endpoints, especially in sensitive environments. 3. Implement application whitelisting to prevent unauthorized execution of 3D Builder or opening of untrusted files. 4. Educate users about the risks of opening files from untrusted or unknown sources, emphasizing caution with 3D model files. 5. Employ network segmentation to isolate systems running 3D Builder from critical infrastructure and sensitive data repositories. 6. Use endpoint detection and response (EDR) tools to monitor for suspicious activities related to 3D Builder processes. 7. Enforce strict file validation and scanning policies for incoming files, including those attached to emails or downloaded from the internet. 8. Regularly review and update security policies to include emerging threats related to design and modeling software.
