However, if they pull off an attack, this can lead to malicious executables being launched every time the VPN is being loaded, as well as application whitelisting bypass. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>CNET:&nbsp;<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/news\/facebook-suspends-tens-of-thousands-of-apps-following-cambridge-analytica-scandal\/?ftag=CMG-01-10aaa1b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-component=\"externalLink\">Facebook suspends tens of thousands of apps following Cambridge Analytica scandal<\/a><\/p>\n<p>In order to test the flaw, SafeBreach Labs crafted a Proof-of-Concept (PoC) unsigned .exe file. When a vulnerable version of the VPN was launched, the file was executed as NT AUTHORITY\\SYSTEM by the legitimate Forcepoint application.<\/p>\n<p>The root cause of the bug is a lack of a quoted string between the executable&#8217;s path and arguments on the command line, causing a Forcepoint VPN startup process to split itself when space characters are parsed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The researchers reported their findings to Forcepoint on September 5 and the company confirmed the vulnerability&#8217;s validity on the same day. A CVE was issued by September 16, and after a patch was issued, Forcepoint released a security advisory on September 19.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>TechRepublic:&nbsp;<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.techrepublic.com\/article\/organizations-struggle-to-manage-cyberthreats-without-automation\/?ftag=CMG-01-10aaa1b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-component=\"externalLink\">Organizations struggle to manage cyberthreats without automation<\/a><\/p>\n<p>It is recommended that Forcepoint VPN users upgrade to version 6.6.1 or higher to protect themselves from compromise.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Update 10.10 BST<\/em>: A Forcepoint spokesperson told ZDNet:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"7.5447154471545\">\n<p>&#8220;We have no further comment to make other than what is available in our <a href=\"https:\/\/support.forcepoint.com\/KBArticle?id=000017525\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-component=\"externalLink\">Knowledge Base<\/a> article.
