Microsoft has shared mitigations for two new Microsoft Exchange zero-day vulnerabilities tracked as CVE-2022-41040 and CVE-2022-41082, but researchers warn that the mitigation for on-premise servers is far from enough.
Threat actors are already chaining both of these zero-day bugs in active attacks to breach Microsoft Exchange servers and achieve remote code execution.
Both security flaws were reported privately through the Zero Day Initiative program about three weeks ago by Vietnamese cybersecurity company GTSC, who shared the details publicly last week.
As part of an advisory, Microsoft shared mitigations for on-premise servers and a strong recommendation for Exchange Server customers to “disable remote PowerShell access for non-admin users” in the organization.”..
Security researcher Jang in a tweet today shows that Microsoft’s temporary solution for preventing the exploitation of CVE-2022-41040 and CVE-2022-41082 is not efficient and can be bypassed with little effort.
Will Dormann, a senior vulnerability analyst at ANALYGENCE, agreeswith the finding and says that the ‘@’ in Microsoft’s URL block “seems unnecessarily precise, and therefore insufficient.”
