Stock futures fluctuated as Wall Street awaited U.S. inflation data and the start of corporate earnings season, with Juniper, Coinbase, Intuitive Surgical, Aehr Test Systems, Toast, and Smart Global among the stocks moving the most.
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has issued a warning to federal agencies to secure their Juniper devices against four vulnerabilities that are being actively exploited in remote code execution (RCE) attacks. Juniper has confirmed that the flaws in its J-Web interface have been successfully exploited in the wild. The ShadowServer threat monitoring service has already detected exploitation attempts, and over 10,000 Juniper devices with vulnerable J-Web interfaces are exposed online. Administrators are urged to upgrade JunOS or restrict Internet access to the J-Web interface. CISA has added the vulnerabilities to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, and federal agencies must secure their Juniper devices within the next four days.
