The Download
A newly disclosed vulnerability (CVE-2025-22457) in Ivanti’s Connect Secure VPN appliances allows remote, unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code—no credentials required. For business owners, Managed Service Providers (MSPs), and IT operators, this means the crown jewels—internal systems, user data, and cloud apps—could be exposed with a single exploit. Actively exploited in the wild, this vulnerability puts remote access gateways, a lifeline for hybrid workforces, at critical risk of compromise, lateral movement, and data theft.
What You Can Do
Ivanti has released urgent patches, and IT admins should immediately update all Connect Secure appliances to the latest firmware. If patching isn't immediately feasible, temporarily isolate vulnerable VPN endpoints from the internet and monitor for signs of compromise. Review logs for abnormal activity, rotate privileged credentials, and implement MFA everywhere. It’s also wise to assess remote access architecture for other gaps while reinforcing firewall rules.
