Cybersecurity Alert: Ivanti’s “Resurge” Malware Strikes Again – Patch or Panic!
CISA warns that threat actors are exploiting a critical Ivanti vulnerability using malware called Resurge. This sneaky bug creates a Secure Shell tunnel for command and control, modifies files, and escalates privileges faster than a caffeine-fueled squirrel. The vulnerability CVE-2025-0282 remains a threat despite patches being available.
Hot Take:
Looks like the Ivanti vulnerability is the gift that keeps on giving – for hackers, that is. Resurge has popped back up like a bad penny, proving that even in cybersecurity, some things just refuse to stay buried. If only malware could be as elusive as my car keys. Better patch those devices, or your network might find itself in a real-life episode of “Hackers Gone Wild.”
Key Points:
- Resurge exploits a known Ivanti vulnerability, CVE-2025-0282, to gain unauthorized access.
- The malware’s similarities to SpawnChimera include creating an SSH tunnel for C2 operations.
- Resurge can manipulate files, perform integrity checks, and install a web shell on Ivanti devices.
- Despite a patch being available, unpatched devices are still vulnerable and actively exploited.
- CISA advises a series of protective measures, including factory resets and credential updates.
