What happened?

Information Security Incident Response Officer at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) discovered vulnerabilities in the NetBrain Configuration Management Platform on March 14th, 2023.

What is the NetBrain Platform?

NetBrain, a network automation company, provides a platform that allows organizations to automate network management tasks. The platform includes a configuration management module that allows users to track and manage the configuration of their network devices.

Security researchers have identified multiple vulnerabilities in the NetBrain Configuration Management Platform that could allow an attacker to gain unauthorized access to a network and make changes to the configuration of network devices. These vulnerabilities include:

• Unauthenticated Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability (CVE-2023-21893): This vulnerability allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code on a NetBrain server without needing to authenticate.
• Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability (CVE-2023-21894): This vulnerability allows an attacker to send requests to internal systems within the NetBrain server's network.
• Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability (CVE-2023-21895): This vulnerability allows an attacker to inject malicious code into the NetBrain web interface.

CISA recommends that organizations using the NetBrain Configuration Management Platform patch their systems as soon as possible. NetBrain has released a patch for these vulnerabilities, which can be downloaded from the NetBrain website.

Who is likely to be affected?

Organizations that use the NetBrain Configuration Management Platform are at risk of being affected by these vulnerabilities. This includes organizations of all sizes, from small businesses to large enterprises.

What should you do?

Organizations that use the NetBrain Configuration Management Platform should patch their systems as soon as possible. NetBrain has released a patch for these vulnerabilities, which can be downloaded from the NetBrain website.

In addition to patching, organizations should also implement additional security measures to protect their networks, such as:

• Use strong passwords and two-factor authentication.
• Keep software up to date.
• Use a firewall to block unauthorized access to your network.
• Monitor your network for suspicious activity.

By taking these steps, organizations can help to protect their networks from these vulnerabilities.
