Admins should check whether the HCL BigFix server automation installations are up-to-date. If this is not the case, attackers can attack systems.

In a warning message, the developers write that they have closed three vulnerabilities in version 9.5.70. If attackers successfully exploit the gaps, they can redirect traffic to websites they control (CVE-2024-26159 “high”) or view unauthorized access data (CVE-2024-28849 “medium”).

So far, there is no information that attackers are already exploiting the vulnerabilities. However, admins should not hesitate too long and install the security update quickly.
