What to do

AI-suggested

  1. Immediately upgrade Netwrix CoSoSys Endpoint Protector to a version later than 5.9.3 and CoSoSys Unify to a version later than 7.0.6 once patches are released by the vendor.
  2. Until patches are available, restrict administrative access to the Endpoint Protector and Unify servers to trusted personnel only and enforce strong multi-factor authentication to reduce risk of credential compromise.
  3. Monitor and audit administrative actions on these servers for unusual configuration changes or command executions.
  4. Implement network segmentation to limit access between management servers and client endpoints, reducing the attack surface.
  5. Employ endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions on client devices to detect anomalous command execution or privilege escalation attempts.
  6. Review and harden configurations of the shadowing component if possible, disabling unnecessary features or services.
  7. Conduct regular security assessments and penetration tests focusing on management infrastructure to identify and remediate privilege escalation paths.
  8. Educate administrators on the risks of credential compromise and enforce least privilege principles.

Description

Netwrix CoSoSys Endpoint Protector through 5.9.3 and CoSoSys Unify through 7.0.6 contain a remote code execution vulnerability in the shadowing component of the Endpoint Protector and Unify agent which allows an attacker with administrative access to the Endpoint Protector or Unify server to overwrite sensitive configuration and subsequently execute system commands with SYSTEM/root privileges on a chosen client endpoint.
