Hackers from multiple threat groups, including an unnamed advanced persistent threat group, exploited a 4-year-old software vulnerability left unpatched at a U.S. government agency, America’s top cybersecurity agency disclosed.
Hackers were able to successfully execute remote code, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency said Wednesday.
Agency scanning failed to detect the unpatched system since the vulnerable software was located on “a file path it does not typically scan.”
