What to do

AI-suggested

  1. Monitor NCP’s official channels for security patches addressing CVE-2025-26155 and apply updates immediately upon release.
  2. Until patches are available, restrict write permissions on directories included in the client’s search path to prevent attackers from placing malicious executables.
  3. Implement application whitelisting to ensure only trusted executables can run on endpoints using the NCP clients.
  4. Conduct regular audits of the file system paths used by the VPN clients to detect unauthorized files or changes.
  5. Employ endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions to monitor for suspicious process creation or execution related to the NCP clients.
  6. Educate IT staff and users about the risks of untrusted search paths and the importance of maintaining secure configurations.
  7. Consider network segmentation and strict access controls to limit the impact of a compromised endpoint.
  8. Review and harden VPN client deployment configurations to minimize exposure to this vulnerability.
