A description of the vulnerability and a link to the associated vendor&#8217;s advice on how to mitigate the flaw are also included.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<section class=\"sharethrough-top placeholder\"> <\/section>\n<p>&#8220;While there won&#8217;t be a script for every single vulnerability, our plan is that scripts will be developed, and continuously reviewed, for critical vulnerabilities and for vulnerabilities that are consistently causing headaches for system administrators,&#8221; the NCSC says. <\/p>\n<p>To ensure SME&#8217;s framework and scripts are constant, a set of <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/ukncsc\/SME\/blob\/main\/ncsc-scanning-made-easy-script-developer-guidelines.md\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-component=\"externalLink\">developer guidelines<\/a> has been published. If developers want to submit a script, they have to be in the .nse format, &#8220;relate to one of the high priority vulnerabilities impacting the UK,&#8221; run in isolation, have a low false-positive rate, and they must be as unintrusive as possible.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>In addition, the NCSC requires scripts to be made public and to be freely available under open source terms. NCSC will then verify submitted scripts before adding them to the SME portfolio.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The first script being released is for vulnerabilities in the Exim message transfer agent (MTA). Known collectively as 21Nails and discovered <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.qualys.com\/vulnerabilities-threat-research\/2021\/05\/04\/21nails-multiple-vulnerabilities-in-exim-mail-server\"
