The other holes are yet to be addressed, and so details on those remain under wraps for now.<\/p>\n<p>What we do know is that CVE-2020-8218 can be exploited to execute code on the VPN system by tricking an administrator into, say, opening a URL.<\/p>\n<div class=\"promo_article\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/regmedia.co.uk\/2020\/01\/07\/shutterstock_reaching_arm.jpg?x=174&amp;y=115&amp;crop=1\" width=\"174\" height=\"115\" alt=\"An arm reaching through a screen\"><\/p>\n<h2 title=\"Plug this security bypass... if you can even find the boxes running it\">That Pulse Secure VPN you&#8217;re using to protect your data?

The RCE itself (CVE-2020-8218) requires to be authenticated with admin privileges but can also be triggered by an unsuspecting admin simply clicking on a malicious link.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Essentially, the Perl code powering the VPN&#8217;s admin panel can be fooled into writing a user-controlled URL parameter to a cache file, and then passing that parameter from the cache file directly to the underlying operating system&#8217;s command interpreter. Thus a malicious command to download and run malware can be executed on the box by opening a bad link.<\/p>\n<p>Given the above advisory has all the information someone needs to build a working exploit, you should probably patch the bug. &#8220;While it does require to be authenticated, the fact that it can be triggered by a simple phishing attack on the right victim should be evidence enough that this vulnerability is not to be ignored,&#8221; Gauron noted.<\/p>\n<p>Updating to Pulse Connect Secure (PCS) 9.1R8 or Pulse Policy Secure (PPS) 9.1R8 fixes CVE-2020-8218 as well as vulnerabilities found by others, including CVE-2020-8206 (&#8220;Attacker can bypass the Google TOTP, if the primary credentials are exposed to attacker&#8221;) and CVE-2020-8221 (&#8220;Authenticated attacker via the administrator web interface can read arbitrary files&#8221;).<\/p>\n<p>Researchers Maxime Nadeau, Romain Carnus, Simon Nolet, Jean-Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Gauron, Temuujin Darkhantsetseg, and Julien Pineault were credited for finding CVE-2020-8218. \u00ae<\/p>\n<p> READ MORE <a href=\"https:\/\/go.theregister.com\/feed\/www.theregister.com\/2020\/08\/28\/pulse_vpn_bugs\/\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Perl clutching time again Stop us if you&#8217;ve heard this one before: a remote-code execution vulnerability needs patching in Pulse Secure VPNs.\u2026 READ MORE HERE&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":36858,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-36857","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-register"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Before you head off for the weekend, you have patched your Pulse Secure VPNs, right?
