Summary written by editorial AI · Source link below
The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) warned that hackers are exploiting a critical-severity Progress Kemp LoadMaster command injection vulnerability. [...]
Editorial Analysis
Load balancers sit at the network perimeter and handle all inbound traffic; a compromised LoadMaster can enable lateral movement, traffic interception, and full environment takeover.
Immediately patch all Progress LoadMaster instances and validate that no exploitation occurred before the patch was applied.
A critical vulnerability in widely used load-balancer appliances is being actively exploited, requiring immediate patching of perimeter infrastructure.
