BeyondTrust Privileged Remote Access (PRA) and Remote Support (RS)
BeyondTrust Privileged Remote Access (PRA) and Remote Support (RS) contain an OS command injection vulnerability that can be exploited by an attacker with existing administrative privileges to upload a malicious file. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability can allow a remote attacker to execute underlying operating system commands within the context of the site user.
Exploitation status
- CISA has confirmed this is being exploited in the wild. That is an observation of real attacks, not a prediction.
- US federal civilian agencies are required to remediate it by 2025-02-03. That deadline does not bind private companies, but it is a reasonable benchmark for how urgently CISA views it.
Required action
Apply mitigations per vendor instructions or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable.
