CISA Warns of Critical Vulnerabilities in Commvault, Active! Mail, and Broadcom Brocade: Urgent Updates Needed
April 29, 2025
CISA has set deadlines for organizations to apply fixes, with May 17, 2025, for CVE-2025-3928 and May 19, 2025, for the other two vulnerabilities.
The critical vulnerability in Commvault's Backup & Recovery software, identified as CVE-2025-3928, allows authenticated attackers to inject and execute web shells through its web server.
CVE-2025-3928 was exploited in zero-day attacks by a nation-state actor before being patched in late February 2024, but it still poses a risk to users of affected versions.
Despite requiring authentication, the Commvault flaw allows attackers to remotely deploy web shells on exposed servers, raising significant security concerns.
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has issued a warning regarding ongoing cyberattacks exploiting vulnerabilities in Commvault, Active! Mail, and Broadcom Brocade solutions, as of April 28, 2025.
CISA has identified three actively exploited vulnerabilities in its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, prompting urgent action from system administrators.
While CISA has not disclosed specific details about the nature or scale of the attacks, IT administrators are strongly urged to install the necessary updates promptly to mitigate exposure.
In addition, a critical vulnerability in Broadcom's Fabric OS, CVE-2025-1976, allows local users with admin rights to execute arbitrary code with root privileges, and has been actively exploited.
Broadcom has confirmed that this vulnerability affects Fabric OS versions 9.1.0 through 9.1.1d6, with a fix available in version 9.1.1d7.
Active! Mail also has a critical stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability (CVE-2025-42599) that can be exploited to crash the service or execute malicious code without authentication.
Qualitia has released a patch in Active! Mail version 6 BuildInfo: 6.60.06008562 to address this vulnerability, which affects all versions up to BuildInfo: 6.60.05008561.
Recent service outages reported by Japanese CERT and ISPs have been linked to exploitation activities related to these vulnerabilities.
