- •Microsoft Exchange vulnerabilities allow RCE with authenticated user access.
- •CVE-2020-2021 enables unauthenticated access to protected resources in PAN-OS.
- •Fortra's GoAnywhere MFT and TerraMaster TOS also have critical RCE vulnerabilities.
A series of remote code execution (RCE) vulnerabilities have been identified in various systems, notably Microsoft Exchange and Fortra's GoAnywhere MFT. CVE-2020-16875 and CVE-2020-17132 affect Microsoft Exchange, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary code with authenticated user access. CVE-2020-2021 in PAN-OS permits unauthenticated network-based attackers to exploit SAML authentication weaknesses. Additionally, CVE-2023-0669 in GoAnywhere MFT allows pre-authentication command injection, while CVE-2020-28188 in TerraMaster TOS enables RCE via OS command injection. These vulnerabilities have been patched, but active exploitation remains a concern for systems still vulnerable. Security professionals are urged to apply updates and monitor for signs of exploitation.
