CVE-2020-29574

Sophos Cyberoamos

An SQL injection vulnerability in the WebAdmin of Cyberoam OS through 2020-12-04 allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary SQL statements remotely.

Exploitation status

  • CISA has confirmed this is being exploited in the wild. That is an observation of real attacks, not a prediction.
  • It is known to have been used in ransomware campaigns.
  • US federal civilian agencies are required to remediate it by 2025-02-27. That deadline does not bind private companies, but it is a reasonable benchmark for how urgently CISA views it.

Required action

The impacted product is end-of-life (EoL) and/or end-of-service (EoS). Users should discontinue utilization of the product.

CISA’s wording, unedited.

What the metrics mean

  • It is reachable over a network, without needing local access.
  • For an attacker who can reach it, no special conditions are needed to exploit it.
  • To exploit it, no account is needed.
  • Beyond that, no action by a user is required.
