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